OVERALL DESCRIPTION This highly distinctive home was created when the Victorian school, built in 1867 for the Acland-Hoods (local Baronets whose coat of arms is carved into a stone on the front wall), was sympathetically converted some 12 or so years ago. The property is attached to the Old School House, which is a private home and was originally where the Headmaster lived, though the two properties are quite private from one another. There is much to enjoy in this house for those who are looking for something a little bit unconventional, starting with the attractive entrance vestibule where the children would have hung up their coats and including the superb entrance hall with impressive staircase leading up past a gothic mullion window to the magnificent vaulted sitting room. The master bedroom is galleried and overlooks the large dressing room
(or even office) beneath. There are two bathrooms and a further two bedrooms, with the potential for an integral annexe by using the third bedroom as a sitting room if so required. The property is immaculate throughout with the current owners making a number of improvements including new kitchen units, new bathroom suites, new carpets and total redecoration. In short, a beautiful and individualistic home in a lovely quiet village location. LOCATION The Old School is centrally located in the attractive Somerset village of Sampford Brett between the Quantock Hills and the Exmoor National Park, both of which are famous for their beautiful moorland and coastal scenery. The village has a thriving local community (www.sampfordbrett.org.uk), village hall and church, and sits around a mile from the small town of Williton with its excellent amenities. There is walking directly from the village (on the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Porlock) and the West Somerset coastline is around 2 miles to the North.
