DESCRIPTION
The Old School is a spacious and versatile four/five-bedroom home in the sought-after village of Brinton, a short walk from the village green and church, with far-reaching views over open countryside.
Originally the village school until its closure in 1984, the building was subsequently converted into two individual homes, with The Old School adjoining The School House, formerly the headmaster’s residence.
The property offers well-proportioned family accommodation, pretty, established gardens, a detached garage and excellent off-road parking on the original school playground. Ideally positioned within easy reach of Holt and the wider attractions of the North Norfolk coast.
The entrance door opens into a hall/utility room with a window overlooking the walled garden. It is fitted with shaker-style cream units, wooden worktops and flooring and a Belfast sink. There is space for a washing machine. Beyond this is a storage room with oil fired boiler and airing cupboard.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a bright, dual-aspect room with North/South-facing windows, fitted cupboards and granite worksurfaces, with space for a full-sized dishwasher, large fridge freezer and oven/hob. Beyond the kitchen, the dining room is a large, light-filled space with high ceilings — ideal for entertaining.
A separate sitting room enjoys plenty of natural light, with a log burner set within a wooden fire surround, parquet flooring, and French doors opening onto the courtyard garden.
At the far end of the large hallway is an office/bedroom alongside a newly fitted wet room with a large walk-in shower suitable for multigenerational use.
Wooden stairs rise to the first floor, where four well-proportioned bedrooms are found. The principal bedroom is a large double with East/West-facing windows and lovely views, along with an elegant en suite featuring a freestanding bath with shower attachment, white sanitaryware and tongue-and-groove panelling. The second bedroom is also a large double, with dual-aspect windows and fitted wardrobes. Bedroom three is a long double room, while bedroom four is currently arranged as a twin. A large family bathroom completes the first floor.
__________
OUTSIDE
A gateway through a brick and flint wall leads to the original playground which is a large off road parking area. Beyond this is a detached double garage with cedar electric doors.
An arched gateway leads to a secluded walled courtyard- ideal for outdoor entertaining. A brick outbuilding houses the oil tank and provides extra storage.
To the east of the school is a parterre garden with box hedges and roses and an area of lawn for relaxing in the shade.

SITUATION
Brinton is a small and unspoilt North Norfolk village, located in the picturesque Glaven Valley surrounded by beautiful countryside, with quiet lanes and some great walks.
At its heart stands the parish church of St Andrew, parts of which date back to the 17th century. Despite its rural tranquillity, Brinton is beautifully placed for exploring the wider area: the sought-after market town of Holt lies just 4 miles away, with the North Norfolk coast around five miles beyond that. Holt itself is well known for its independent shops, galleries and excellent restaurants, while the coast offers some of England's finest stretches of unspoilt beach, salt marsh and nature reserve, from Blakeney and Cley to Sheringham and beyond, making Brinton an ideal base for those seeking the very best of North Norfolk life
