About this property

Set in an enviable position overlooking the renowned Cenarth Falls, this substantial and characterful former school building offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique home rich in history and versatility. The property provides generous accommodation arranged over multiple levels, blending period features with contemporary design, all completed to a very good standard.

The ground floor is arranged as two completely separate living areas, each offering its own living space with potential or partially installed kitchen facilities. Both areas benefit from their own bedroom and bathroom, making this level ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential income opportunities, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The first floor has been fully renovated and features a spacious open-plan living area arranged over a split level, with a well-appointed kitchen and dining area. This impressive space opens onto a balcony, perfectly positioned to enjoy the outstanding views. A further bedroom and bathroom are also located on this floor. Above, the mezzanine level adds a striking architectural feature, showcasing exposed beams, a gable-end window and an additional bedroom with its own shower room.

Externally, the property offers off-road parking and beautifully landscaped gardens to the rear with several seating areas overlooking Cenarth Falls, along with a grassed garden to the front. There is an outbuilding currently used as a workshop and storage, as well as additional outbuildings suitable for summer furniture and garden equipment. While the upper floors have been fully renovated, the ground floor presents further scope for completion or enhancement, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

A truly distinctive property in a highly sought-after location, combining historic character, flexible living arrangements and breathtaking surroundings
