OFFERS IN THE REGION OF £340,000
Description
The Old Schoolhouse is set in grounds of approximately 0.4 acres with mature trees and grassland adjacent to the Norwich Road in the village of Barham, approximately 5 miles from Ipswich. The A14/A140 junction is approximately 2 miles away. The Old Schoolhouse was converted into offices several years ago and planning permission has now been granted for change of use to a residential dwelling. The schoolhouse section of the property is built of white Suffolk bricks under a pantile roof. The two storey house is constructed of red brick, rendered to the front elevation, under a pantile roof.
The property provides a rare opportunity to create a rural village home incorporating the traditional schoolhouse architecture.
Ground Floor
The ground floor of the property is divided into four main areas.
Through the arched entrance hallway at the front of the property you enter into what was previously a reception area (14.04ft x 16.08ft). There is an open fireplace and exposed beams in this room and a large under stairs cupboard. Arched windows overlook the front garden and there is a smaller window to the left of the fireplace.

The remaining ground floor area is divided into two large open rooms.
