Once the village school, the house is light and airy, with good living space and room sizes and much character and practicality of layout.

Mortimer West End is a low-key little community offering excellent access to all the key roads and railway stations in the area and is perfectly located for Berkshire's many first-class schools.

On the ground floor, there is a spacious drawing room and also a large dining room (currently children’s games room), a good kitchen with off-lying snug and also a quiet study. Upstairs, two large bedrooms (one ensuite) are complemented by 3 further bedrooms served by a central landing.

The former garage contains a single-bed maisonette and there is a good shed for tools, toys and firewood.

Outside, the gardens are a well-tended combination of lawns and shrubs and one fabulous feature is the ability to walk in the surrounding private woods.

The Old School House is offered for let unfurnished for a minimum term of 12 months.
