This striking and superbly appointed Grade II listed school house conversion is located right in the heart of the small and vibrant village of Donyatt, roughly three miles from Ilminster.

The detached former school house has been cleverly extended and improved with a forensic level of attention to detail, and offers the right blend of period charm and contemporary chic.

This totally unique dwelling has undergone a total transformation in recent years including an extension and remodelling, resulting in a highly stylish and adaptable living space.

Inside, oak herringbone flooring has been laid throughout much of the ground floor echoing the oak flooring in the main living space, unifying the old with the new. The entrance hall, with a distinctive high vaulted ceiling, leads to the main living space which is the true showpiece of the property. The large oak floorspace and open vaulted ceiling give a sense of space and grandeur, while the stone mullion windows flood the room with natural light. The mezzanine level creates a cosier feel to the central area of the living room and is a great entertaining or chill‐out space.

The kitchen has been cleverly extended to create a bright and spacious hub with a mix of stylish cupboards and open display shelves. Its triple aspect includes bespoke Fabco Steel windows designed to fit in with the original architecture. The family bathroom has had a complete transformation and is fitted with a Lusso suite including a freestanding bath.

The main property has two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a walk-in wardrobe, a luxury ensuite shower room and direct access to the sunny courtyard at the rear.

The garage has been remodelled internally and has been fitted out with storage cupboards to create a versatile indoor space for a hobby or other uses. Adjoining the garage is a useful home office that would work equally well as a third bedroom. There’s also a handy utility room that can double as a kitchenette and a separate shower room with WC.

Outside, there are pleasant garden “rooms” to three sides of the house that have been lovingly landscaped and planted with real flair.

To the side, there is off road parking space on the driveway and access to the garage.
