Set on the rural edge of Somerton, Old School House is a detached 19th-century stone cottage offering generous living space and panoramic countryside views. The house sits in beautifully landscaped, mainly south-facing grounds of approximately 0.27 acres with a gated gravel driveway, double garage plus workshop — appealing to buyers who want space for gardening, vehicles and hobbies.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: entrance porch, large sitting room with stone and brick fireplace and gas stove, separate dining room, galley kitchen with granite worktops, conservatory/sunroom, utility/laundry, ground-floor shower room and two double bedrooms served by a spacious family bathroom upstairs. The property totals about 1,564 sq ft and provides comfortable room proportions and a strong indoor–outdoor flow for country living.
Buyers should note material running costs and improvement needs: the property is oil-fired with an older boiler, private drainage to a septic tank, an EPC rating of F and likely uninsulated solid stone walls. Broadband speeds are very slow which may affect remote working. These factors present both ongoing costs and clear potential for upgrading — insulation, heating, and connectivity improvements would add comfort and value.
Offered chain-free and set in a quiet hamlet, the house suits purchasers seeking a rural retreat near Somerton’s amenities, or those looking to add value through sympathetic refurbishment. The combination of sizable gardens, garage/workshop and far-reaching views is rare for this price band, but buyers should budget for energy-efficiency and services modernisation.
