The property
Old School is a spacious, Grade II listed building set in a charming village but within easy reach of the market town of Dorchester in Dorset.
This picture-postcard-pretty, stone-built Victorian former school is fitted with high quality appliances and is the perfect stay for friends and family wanting a holiday that combines coast and countryside.
Step through the traditional door into the modern hallway, which provides a study area and leads you to the spacious sitting room boasting plenty of seating along with a TV/DVD player and a wonderful wood burning fire to keep you warm in winter whilst watching your favourite films.
The well-appointed, spacious kitchen diner provides everything that you will need during your stay including contemporary dining furniture and a stylish fitted kitchen with all the necessary appliances, and well-equipped for cooks.
The ground floor also offers a compact, cosy twin bedroom which is great for children, or guests with limited mobility, with the bonus of a nearby ground floor lobby with WC and washbasin.
At the top of the staircase is a delightful, sunny, galleried seating area - a great spot to sit and read or just relax away from other guests.
This floor also presents two well-presented bedrooms, 1 double and 1 twin, with exposed wooden beams as a reminder of the history of the building.
The twin bedroom has its own modern en-suite shower room, while there is also a modern family bathroom with separate shower cubicle, for other guests.
