Miles & Bird, estate agents covering Teddington, are proud to present this most appealing two bedroom character cottage converted from a lovely old school house building, enjoying its own walled courtyard garden and private entrance tucked away to the rear. This Freehold period property provides generous accommodation over two floors, extending to over 800 sq ft / 75 sq m. A private entrance door to the rear opens into a hallway with exposed wood floorboards and stairs to the first floor. The wood flooring continues through to the living room, which is of good square proportion with unusually high multi-paned windows fitted with attractive plantation shutters. There is also a rather distinctive feature fireplace in "Arts and Crafts" style with deep mantle piece and a decorative tiled hearth. The fitted kitchen also features high level windows, again adorned with shutters. To complete the ground floor the bathroom is fitted to a white suite, and upstairs there are two good size bedrooms both with built-in storage. The property further benefits from gas central heating including a modern Worcester combination boiler and recently fitted smart meter. Outside there is a walled south facing courtyard garden with retainer bed, large storage shed, external water tap and lighting, and a further hard standing area. When the building was originally converted each cottage was designated with a private parking bay, which could easily be reinstated, if desired. Location: School House Lane is a popular location, south east of central Teddington. Hampton Wick mainline station is under half a mile away (0.45m) and both Teddington and Kingston are within easy walking distance. Royal Bushy Park is short stroll away (0.2m) and can be reached via footbridge in nearby Bushy Park Road. For those with children the property falls within the catchment area of Collis and Sacred Heart Primary Schools, Hampton Wick junior and infants, and also Teddington senior school. Local residents are rather proud of the community spirit here - highlighted by the success of the little Orchard at the end of School House Lane - an area for locals that hosts an annual summer party, and Christmas carols and is generally a lovely community space for locals to enjoy.
