A stunning conversion of a former Victorian school is for sale in Heveningham, near Halesworth, at a guide price of £595,000.
Appropriately named ‘Old School’, the three-bedroom property is thought to date from around 1850, when it served as the village school.
Selling agent Bedfords said it “seamlessly blends the historic character of the building with a beautifully presented contemporary interior”, with many of the rooms offering “lovely views across the surrounding countryside”.
The front door opens to a generous entrance hall, which leads to all rooms on the ground floor.
An impressive kitchen/living area has a range of base-mounted and full-height units, including a larder cupboard. Appliances include an integrated double oven, induction hob and extractor unit, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
The living area has ceramic tile flooring, a wood-burner and bi-fold doors opening to the courtyard garden.
Off the hallway is a utility room with a built-in storage unit, wooden worktop and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a WC and side door to the front garden.
The dual-aspect sitting room has a high ceiling with exposed joists and a brick fireplace housing a wood-burner. Completing the ground floor is a well-proportioned study that also serves as a third bedroom.

Stairs ascend to the first-floor landing which has built-in wardrobes, along with doors to two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The bathroom comprises a resin claw foot bathtub, shower cubicle, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.
At the end of the landing is the master bedroom, which is generously sized and features a barrel-vaulted ceiling.
Outside, there is a private walled courtyard garden to the rear. It has a paved terrace covered by a glass veranda, an area of lawn and a raised bed stocked with lavender.
The front garden – enclosed by picket fencing and a low brick wall – has a paved terrace and is well stocked with bamboo, shrubs and a crab apple tree.
A gate provides access to the car parking space and garage, which has an electric roller door.
Heveningham is a pretty rural village, with much of the surrounding countryside owned by the Heveningham Hall Estate.
The village has a parish church, while the nearby village of Peasenhall has a renowned butcher/delicatessen.
