Remember all that rushing about, getting the kids off to school and clearing up after them before buying a bigger house to gain vital extra space?

Well perhaps it’s time to go on the school run again, but this time in a self-indulgent way. You can use it as a solution to downsizing because anyone who has owned a larger home finds it difficult to get rid of so much that they have accumulated.

By attending the school in question, on the corner of Bedhampton Road and Kingscroft Lane, you can see what a clever conversion project has been undertaken at the Victorian Old Bedhampton School to create new homes, one of them waiting for you!

The property now for sale through Town and Country Southern estate agents has a prime corner spot and although a bungalow it has good space for all those “essentials” you need to bring until you can sort them out.

It also has the essential of both a main bathroom and an en-suite to the master bedroom so you can keep you own facilities private, a common demand among older buyers.

“While this is perfect for people who want a smaller home, it’s also true that families in a two-bedroom home would find it perfect for upsizing, too. As conversion projects go, it’s a good lesson in how to get things right for a wide selection of potential purchasers,” says Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern.

“There are many retained features including high ceilings, cathedral style windows, some exposed beams, and lantern skylights while modern facilities, including wood framed double glazing and gas fired central heating as well as a well-equipped kitchen / dining room and excellent bathrooms complete the picture.

“Double doors in the dining area open into the sitting room and at the far end of the front of the bungalow is the third bedroom. The master bedroom at the rear has a superb sky lantern to flood it with natural light. Set between the master and second bedrooms are the en-suite for the master and the main bathroom.

“The property has its own garden as well as gated parking for two cars and is also close to good local facilities.

“Great news, too, is that there’s no onward chain so the purchase process should be straightforward.”
