IN a picturesque and secluded spot, The Old School House can be found looking out over the expansive horizons of Somerset and the Mendip hills in the distance.
Originally built in 1876 for the headmistress of Godney School, The Old School House is an utterly enchanting red brick and slate roofed property and from the garden it evokes the look and atmosphere of a house from a story book.
Classic Victorian architecture such as ornate gables, colourful brickwork and steeply pitched roofs are all here.
The accommodation comprises, in brief; hallway, cloakroom, kitchen/dining room, sitting room and, to the first floor, three charming double bedrooms and a family bathroom. From the first floor landing the loft space can be accessed via a generous hatch with integrated folding ladder.
Outside is a south facing rear garden with an immaculate lawn bordered by established beds planted with a mix of herbaceous perennials, shrubs and herbs. A path leads down to a decking area which spans the width of the garden and over looks the river.
A lovely vine is establishing itself over the pergola that shades the seating area on the left, a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the scenery and wildlife that congregates here.
There is a painted wooden and brick boiler room as well as a wooden bike store. A latched garden door off to the left opens out onto a paved area to the side of the property where there is off road parking for one car.
