The Old School House is believed to date from the 19th century and we understand was converted to a residential property by the present vendors in 1949.

The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, utility room, ground floor shower room, three double bedrooms, first floor bathroom, oil fired radiator central heating, double glazed replacement windows and garage.

The Old School House is set in open countryside on a plot extending to approximately a quarter of an acre and enjoys delightful views over open farmland to front and rear and is located close to the village of Frating which is situated to the east of Colchester which offers a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities together with train service to London Liverpool Street. In the local vicinity there are the villages of Elmstead Market and Great Bentley offering amenities catering for everyday needs, the latter of which also has a main line railway station.

The house is set back from the road and is approached through two sets of gates which were constructed from cartwheels, there is a long 'in & out' driveway which provides ample parking for several vehicles and gives access to the garage. The property also has the added benefit of being only a short drive from the A120 dual carriageway which provides direct access to the A12 and beyond.
