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.
