Summary - THE OLD SCHOOL HIGH STREET WEST LYDFORD SOMERTON TA11 7DB
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period home with annexe potential and large landscaped gardens.
Converted 1800s schoolhouse with period stone features
The Old School is a striking converted schoolhouse dating from the 1800s, built in local Blue Lias stone with hamstone mullions and high ceilings. Large windows and a central mezzanine create light, generous living spaces; solid oak floors, a corner stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove give character and warmth. The layout already includes a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite, making single-level living or guest accommodation straightforward.
Outside, the property sits on a large plot with well-landscaped cottage-style gardens, specimen trees, pond and a decked terrace. A wide cobbled driveway and detached double garage provide ample parking; the garage currently includes a utility and cloakroom with first-floor space that has clear annexe or studio potential, subject to permissions. Broadband is reported as fast; the location offers a quiet village setting with access to nearby market towns and mainline rail at Castle Cary.
Practical considerations: heating is oil-fired and the EPC rating is E. Council Tax is Band E and there is a noted medium surface-water flood risk (the vendor reports the property has never flooded). Buyers should commission a chartered survey and check title/deeds and any planning requirements if intending to develop the garage or alter the layout. Overall this is a spacious, character-rich home with flexible living and genuine annexe opportunity in a rural Somerset village.
