Property description

Attractive grade 2 listed former school house in the popular village of Holcombe Rogus 3 miles from the M5 and 2 hours by train to London. Sympathetically restored retaining many character original features, it offers 4 bedrooms, bespoke handmade kitchen, 3 reception rooms and a pretty rear garden.

Thought to date back to 1840, The Old School House has many original features still in place and comprises, in brief, entrance hall, dining room with 2 walk in cupboards, handmade fitted kitchen, breakfast room, cloakroom and large living room with woodburner. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally there is a pretty garden with palm tree, pond and a good variety of herbaceous shrubs.

The property is set right in the heart of the popular village of Holcombe Rogus on the Devon/Somerset border. The village has a thriving pub, medieval church, post office, school and small shop and garage. The village's most notable landmark is the privately owned Holcombe Court, thought to be one of the finest Tudor houses in England. The country town of Wellington is just over 5 miles away and has a large range of independent shops as well as 3 supermarkets, schools, cafes and restaurants and access to the M5. Other features of the area include the Grand Western canal, National Trust properties Knightshayes Court and Killerton and the Wellington monument, built on the highest point of the nearby Blackdown hills.
