4 bed detached house for sale

Halstock, Yeovil, Dorset BA22

A substantial detached former Victorian school that offers large 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom accommodation. Updating required throughout. Whole plot extends to 0.55 of an acre. Double garage and drive. No upper chain.

Believed to date back to 1888, this former school comes to the market with no onward chain and offers a purchaser a fantastic opportunity to create a well situated home, finished to their own standard and taste. The Old School sits on a plot of 0.55 of an acre that comprises a former paddock, house and garden.

The accommodation is substantial, especially on the ground floor, with a light and airy feel, large room sizes and high ceilings.

On the ground floor is a large entrance hall, which would lend itself to other uses, and having a useful W.C. Off. There is a most impressive sitting room of excellent proportions beyond which is a fitted kitchen, an adjacent dining room and a large utility room off the kitchen. Please note that the dividing wall between the dining room and kitchen is of stud partition and it is therefore considered that combined, these two rooms would make a fabulous kitchen/ dining/family room.

On the first floor are 4 generous bedrooms, 2 of which are en suite, whilst there is also a shared bathroom. The main bedroom is particularly generous and enjoys fine views over its own plot and to the countryside beyond. Please note there is no onward chain involved with the sale of this property.

The rural village of Halstock lies on the Somerset/Dorset border, south of Yeovil and north of Dorchester. The village itself benefits from the award winning community village shop with a post office counter, village hall and church and a variety of clubs and events taking place in the local area.
