Newport Road, Haughton, ST18

Pens and papers at the ready… this is one history lesson you won’t be daydreaming through! Once the heartbeat of the village, The Old School, founded in 1841 has graduated into an impressive five-bedroom, two-bathroom detached home, bursting with character, potential and A+ appeal.

From the moment you arrive, the property’s period architecture sets the tone with its classic brickwork and exposed wooden beams that continue throughout, giving every corner that “old-school” magic. Step into generously sized reception rooms with wooden flooring and large windows that make the space feel bright enough to rival a well-lit classroom. The dining room even includes the original front door, yes, the very one pupils once trotted through for their ABCs! The spacious kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and soaring ceilings worthy of assembly hall acoustics. A rear porch links the kitchen to the garden/driveway and the fantastic garage/utility area, ideal for stashing everything from PE kits to DIY tools.

The first floor hosts three bedrooms and a bathroom, with each bedroom featuring its own sink. Two doubles offer great proportions, while the third is a snug single perfect for a study, nursery or reading nook. Head up to the top floor for two additional generous double bedrooms and another bathroom. Both bathrooms include walk-in showers and wood panelling. Storage is top of the class too, with two store areas on the first floor. Stud walls throughout the home mean reconfiguring space is as easy as rewriting your timetable, offering exciting potential for future adaptation.

The exterior delivers just as much promise, a garden with both lawn and patio gives you a blank slate to design your perfect outdoor oasis. A gated rear driveway provides secure off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a useful garage and storage spaces. Both the front and rear outdoor areas feature paved pathways and patio spots, ideal for alfresco dining, a morning coffee break or hosting your own gatherings. Situated in the community of Haughton, you’re close to excellent amenities, schools and travel links, with Stafford just a short drive away for everything else on your syllabus.

Pass with flying colours and make The Old School your next playground. Give us a call today to book your viewing, class is officially in session!
