Nestled in the heart of the idyllic village of Gillingham, just a gentle stroll from the bustling market town of Beccles, this unique and characterful semi-detached period bungalow presents a rare opportunity to own a slice of local heritage. Formerly the village school, this lovingly converted home now stands as a charming and welcoming residence, steeped in charm and history, and offered to the market with no onward chain.
Set behind the wrought iron railings, a shingled driveway provides off-road parking, The Old School Bungalow immediately impresses with its quaint exterior and westerly facing, low-maintenance rear garden—perfect for soaking up the afternoon and evening sun in peaceful seclusion.
As you step through the porch entrance, a true sense of homeliness greets you. The interior effortlessly blends period features with practical living, starting with a generous 18ft lounge/diner that forms the heart of the home. Here, a large picture window allows natural light to cascade across the space, while a traditional cast iron wood burner creates an intimate and inviting atmosphere, ideal for cosy evenings or entertaining guests.
The adjacent kitchen boasts wall and base units, complemented by a useful pantry-style cupboard—perfect for keeping your worktops clear and your essentials organised.
Accommodation continues with two spacious double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes, offering comfortable retreats and generous storage solutions. The family bathroom features a shower-over- the bath, catering to your daily preference, while a separate WC adds an extra layer of convenience for busy households.
The setting of this home is as appealing as its interior. Gillingham is a picturesque village renowned for its welcoming community and excellent amenities. With a bus stop and village pub right on your doorstep, and just minutes away from the charming riverside town of Beccles—with its independent shops, weekly market, and scenic walks along the River Waveney—you truly have the best of both village and town living.
Whether you're looking to downsize, relocate to a more tranquil pace of life, or invest in a home with genuine historical character, The Old School Bungalow is a rare and delightful gem that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
