Situation - The property is situated in the small village of Templeton with parish church and parish hall/social club. This part of Devon, between Tiverton and Exmoor, is unspoilt but very accessible. It is an area of rolling countryside intersected by small wooded valleys and fields, enclosed by old Devon hedgebanks. The area is renowned for country sports and pursuits, with the Exmoor National Park approximately 10 miles to the north, and North Devon with its rugged coast and popular beaches accessible via the A361.
The villages of Nomansland and Rackenford are nearby, with churches, excellent village pubs, and community shop in Rackenford. The Masons Arms at Knowstone, about 5 miles, has a renowned restaurant with a Michelin Star.
Tiverton is an old market town with a historic castle, on the banks of the River Exe. There are several supermarkets, a wide range of shops, a district hospital, a sports centre and an 18 hole golf course. There are schools for all ages and in Tiverton there is Blundell's Public School, which offers discounts to local pupils.
The area is very accessible with easy access along the A361 to the M5 motorway at junction 27. Beside J27 is Tiverton Parkway Railway Station with fast trains to London Paddington taking approximately 2 hours. The airports of Exeter and Bristol are within an easy driving distance.
Description - The unlisted Old School House, formerly used as the village school until its closure in 1946, was established in 1875 to accommodate 50 children, both boys and girls, and consisted of a single schoolroom.
Built with natural stone walls and adorned with cut stone quoins, it is topped with a slate roof. The structure still showcases various original Victorian Gothic architectural elements, such as stone mullioned windows and vaulted ceilings. Approval has been obtained for transforming the building into a residential dwelling, and the construction is currently in progress. The property is being sold as a partially completed conversion, with significant renovations already completed.
Accommodation - The approved plans provide conversion of the building into a two-bedroom property over two floors comprising: on the ground floor - entrance hall/boot room (or cloakroom), open plan kitchen, dining and living area with large feature window with glazed doors opening onto a South facing enclosed garden and a bath/shower room (this could be a garden room/office with fully glazed arch topped door to the garden). A winding feature staircase, with storage under, rises to the first floor which comprises two bedrooms, airing cupboard, galleried landing and bath/shower room.
There is further scope to amend the approved plans to suit individual tastes/ needs, for example, to include a third bedroom subject to any necessary planning consents.

About this agent
Stags Tiverton office is situated in Bampton Street, one of Tiverton's busiest shopping thoroughfares and is a short distance from Tiverton's redeveloped Pannier Market. The Professional Services department can also be found here, giving expert advice on all planning, estate management and rural business issues, as well as carrying out professional valuations for probate, matrimonial disputes and inheritance tax to name but a few. Standing between the point where the Rivers Exe and Lowman meet, Tiverton is the largest town in mid Devon and has easy access to the M5 motorway and the A361 North Devon Link Road. A popular dormitory town for commuters to Exeter and Taunton, its fortunes were built on the wool trade, which prospered during the 16th, 17th and 18th Centuries. Modern Tiverton has much to offer in the way of leisure activities with a museum, plenty of footpaths along the trackbed of the old railway, the Tivoli cinema, a new leisure centre with swimming pool and gym and a country park, which was created from the Grand Western Canal. There is plenty of good shopping, too, with both high street multiples and small independent shops. Primary and secondary schools abound in Tiverton - the most famous of which is Blundell's School (founded in 1604).
