- A note from the owners
- When we decided to move back to the West Country, the Old School House was the second and only other place we viewed — we knew straight away it was the right place for us. It was being marketed as a “mini estate”, and the land really caught our eye. We had a clear list of what we wanted: productive land and woodland that could generate a decent income, complete privacy with no public rights of way or near neighbours, no listed buildings, and zero risk of urban creep, solar farms or turbines. We were looking for a place where we could raise livestock, grow our own food, walk the dogs on our own land, and have room to extend if our family grew. A friendly community would be a bonus. Well, the community turned out to be the most welcoming we could ever have hoped for!! This special place ticked every single box. We’ve created a wonderful life here. Working from home has never been easier with Starlink, that was a gamechanger. We’ve also modernised the house over the years to make it a lovely sanctuary, but there is still scope to extend and add more value (STPP) We’re now ready to hand the keys over to the next family or couple who are looking for exactly the same thing: a peaceful, private, versatile small estate where you can live the good life and build whatever future you wish for.
