This week, we're spotlighting a true Somerset gem in Shapwick: a stunning Grade II listed former schoolhouse, now a spacious family home on the market for a guide price of £850,000 – £900,000.

With four en-suite double bedrooms and all the unique charm you'd expect from a historic building of this calibre, this property is listed with our sponsors, Sandersons, and balances period features with contemporary living, offering a slice of local history wrapped in modern comfort.

Step through the original Gothic front door into what was once the old cloakroom, now a welcoming entrance hall used as a study. From here, you're led into a grand, 41ft open-plan living and dining room with soaring ceilings, two feature fireplaces – one with a cosy log burner – and tall mullioned windows that flood the space with light. Whether you're hosting family gatherings or unwinding by the fire, this impressive space is designed for both relaxation and entertainment.

The kitchen is a dream for any cook, complete with solid wood block worktops, a central island, and a Rangemaster oven. French doors open out to a paved terrace, perfect for al fresco dining or a morning coffee. A walk-in pantry and additional storage room ensure ample space to keep everything organised.

Downstairs, you'll find two spacious double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite. One even serves as a successful B&B room, offering a potential income stream. Upstairs, two more large bedrooms, each with exposed beams, walk-in dressing rooms, and en-suites, complete this exceptional home.

Outside, the property boasts landscaped, low-maintenance gardens with raised beds, gravelled areas, and a paved terrace surrounded by the original Victorian stone wall – a nod to its playground past. There's ample off-road parking for up to four cars and a rear entrance for added convenience.

Situated in Shapwick, nestled between Street and Glastonbury, this home is a rare find that combines history, style, and practicality. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of Somerset heritage – contact Sandersons for a viewing today.
