This Grade II listed converted school hall occupies a favourable position along the High Street in Banwell, where buildings such as the old bakery, the old sweet shop, a pub, and a Temperance Hall have all been converted to give this road an authentic sense of history.
This unique, four-bedroom property dates back to the 19th Century and has been tastefully converted into a comfortable modern family home with great character.
The accommodation is spread over three storeys, with the ground floor comprising a hallway leading to storerooms, an inner courtyard and a covered walkway to the rear garden.
The main living quarters can be found on the first floor, which has a stunning hallway with a galleried landing above and a large feature window that enables pools of light to enter the space. There are two spacious reception rooms, currently used as a dining room and a living room, with the latter having French doors that open to the garden. Also on this floor is a galley-style kitchen with wood effect units and contrasting worksurfaces, and a modern and stylish shower room.
On the top floor of the property, there are three double bedrooms and one single, each with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The principal bedroom has a large, arched window, while the three other bedrooms have Velux-style roof windows. A family bathroom completes this level.
Outside, the private rear garden is sculpted into the hillside that leads up to the woods behind the property. To accommodate the gradient of the gentle slope the garden is segmented into tiers, each displaying a wealth of mature shrubs and trees, providing a haven for wildlife. From the top tier, there are lovely far-reaching views across the countryside.
An allocated undercover parking space can be found at the front of the property.
