Tucked away in the attractive village of Chedington, nestled within the chalk hills of West Dorset and close to Crewkerne, this detached former school house offers a rare opportunity to restore a property of character and history. Owned by the same family for over six decades, the house retains many original features and now requires a complete programme of refurbishment.
The ground floor comprises an entrance lobby, a living room, a kitchen with access to the first floor bathroom, a lean-to sun room, and two large reception rooms. From the hallway, a second stairway rises to a landing and bedroom.
Outside, the property is approached via a pedestrian pathway and sits alongside its own garden plot, which now requires landscaping and formalisation, complemented by an outside store and greenhouse.
The property is freehold with vacant possession, and is to be sold as seen, including various chattels to be cleared by the purchaser, with further details available in the legal documentation on the Clive Emson website.
Directions are available via the What3Words location ///teamed.commutes.diverts.
This sale presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a detached home of character in a desirable Dorset village with scope for imaginative refurbishment and long-term potential.
