Set within the peaceful hamlet of Brompton Regis, The Old School is a detached three-bedroom former school offering generous single-storey living and far-reaching Exmoor countryside views. The home’s stone walls, exposed fireplace and cottage borders create an immediate sense of character and rural charm. Offered with no onward chain, it’s ready for someone seeking a well-located village home or a sympathetic update.
The accommodation is practical and easy to manage: a dual-aspect sitting room with stone fireplace and wood burner, a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility and garden room, dining room with views, and three double bedrooms including a principal with ensuite. The layout is all on one level, which suits families, downsizers or buyers who prefer no internal stairs. There is off-street parking, low-maintenance gardens and a decent plot backing onto open countryside.
Practical points to note: heating is by oil‑fired boiler and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy costs and upgrade works should be considered. The property has one family bathroom and the large attic is currently storage only; conversion is possible but would require planning permission. Broadband is excellent (ultrafast available), flood risk is very low and local services are within walking distance, but the setting is remote and local area statistics show higher deprivation than average.
Overall this is a characterful, chain-free detached property in Exmoor National Park with immediate curb appeal and clear potential to modernise. It will suit buyers who value rural living, solid period features and straightforward single-level accommodation, and who are prepared to invest in energy improvements or attic conversion if they want more living space.
