A former Victorian school house has been tastefully converted to a beautiful family home which is now on the market in an excellent location within a popular market town.

The Latent Scholar combines traditional 19th century quality construction with contemporary fixtures and fittings and a lovely internal layout, close to the centre of Brampton and its historic Moat.

The exterior has off-road parking with the potential for this to be increased with inclusion of the block-paved courtyard garden.

This has wall-mounted security lights and sandstone steps to the property entrance where the old school bell has been polished up and is next to the front door.

The accommodation is mainly laid out over one floor and has at its heart a very large open-plan living dining kitchen comprised of a light and airy family area and a smart fitted kitchen.

The living dining area is more than 30ft by 28ft and is warmed by a gas fire set in a recessed chimney breast.

A triple aspect allows light to pour in, complemented by electronically controlled roof windows.

On-trend pendant lighting and vertical radiators continue the modern feel which is enhanced by the high-gloss cabinets in the kitchen, integrated appliances and breakfast bar with five-ring induction hob.

There is another electrically operated roof window and vertical radiator, as well as recessed ceiling spotlights, extractor fan and wine chiller with steps to an inner hallway.

From here doors open to three of the four bedrooms, the impressive master suite boasting a dressing area with fitted furniture and an en-suite shower room.

The four-piece family bathroom provides a large walk-in shower cubicle with recessed shelf, vertical radiator, part-tiled walls and a built-in shelved cupboard. The fourth double bedroom is reached through a separate external door from where stairs rise to the first floor.

This room offers goods space which has the potential for a variety of uses such as a home office or gym. It has twin sash windows, recessed ceiling spotlights and an en-suite shower room.

Outside pedestrian access with security lighting leads to a block-paved rear area with storage.

The Latent Scholar, Moat Street, Brampton, is for sale at £395,000 from PFK Estate Agents, tel. 01228 558666.
