Summary
A charming and well-positioned detached cottage on the edge of a historic Somerset town, offering generous accommodation and beautifully landscaped gardens extending to approximately 0.27 acres.

Accommodation
Delightfully situated on the rural fringes of Somerton in the hamlet of Catsgore, Old School House is a characterful detached stone cottage, believed to date from the 19th century and offering a blend of traditional features with practical, well-proportioned interiors. Approached via a gated gravel driveway, the property sits within attractively landscaped grounds and enjoys far-reaching countryside views.

Entry is through a covered storm porch which leads into a welcoming entrance hall and sitting room. The sitting room is of an excellent size and features a striking lias stone and brick fireplace with a gas-fired stove inset—an ideal focal point. Stairs rise from this room to the first floor, while an archway leads to the garden-facing conservatory and a further door opens into the formal dining room.

The conservatory provides a wonderful vantage point for enjoying the gardens and surrounding landscape, benefitting from a southerly and westerly aspect. The dining room connects easily with a thoughtfully designed galley kitchen, fitted with comprehensive range of cabinetry, granite worktops, and quarry-tiled flooring. A separate laundry room and ground floor shower room/WC offer additional convenience.

A covered garden terrace and a spacious utility room complete the ground floor, creating an ideal indoor/outdoor flow for practicality and family living.

The first floor offers two very comfortable double bedrooms, both of which enjoy sweeping countryside vistas to the south and west aspects. The principal bathroom is generously proportioned and fitted with a jacuzzi-style bath, wash basin with vanity, WC, and tiled surrounds.

Outside
The grounds of Old School House extend to just over a quarter of an acre and are arranged primarily to the south of the house, offering privacy and panoramic rural views. The gardens are a true feature of the property—meticulously maintained with lawns, mature trees, and vibrant borders of perennials, shrubs, and seasonal planting.

A small pond, vegetable beds, and a variety of seating areas offer interest and enjoyment throughout the year. Additionally, there is ample gated parking, a detached double garage with inspection pit and workshop, a garden shed, and a greenhouse—ideal for horticultural enthusiasts or those seeking space for hobbies or storage.

Old School House combines a peaceful setting with excellent accessibility and is well suited to those seeking a country lifestyle with the benefit of nearby amenities.
