Property description
An imaginative conversion of an imposing former jail house that historically was the village police station. The Old Gaol is an elegant period village house converted in more recent years into three distinct homes all offering charm and character. 34B is the central section of the building and therefore benefits from retaining the original porch and solid wood door as a dramatic entrance to the building. Internally accommodation includes a stunning wood panelled living room with working fireplace which in turn opens onto a vaulted dining room with double doors leading to the rear terrace. Further ground floor living space includes a fitted kitchen, ground floor shower room and a useful study/fourth bedroom. On the first floor The Old Gaol has three good sized bedrooms and a bathroom complete with roll top bath. Externally the property benefits from two separate courtyard gardens to the rear. A walled garden courtyard with pavia terrace is located off the dining room and a large sunny courtyard laid to patio is accessed from the study with further gated access from behind the house. The larger courtyard includes a timber summer house. Old Gaol occupies a delightful position within the village, close to the village church, school, health centre and the popular public house, restaurant and butchers. There are also a number of rural walks close by including the picturesque village common and windmill. Historically The Old Gaol has close links with the great train robbery being the jail where those caught were held and charged.
