The Old School House The Old School House is situated half way up Woolland Hill (450 ft) adjacent to the Manor House, the church and Woolland House amongst some of the most beautiful countryside in Dorset. Built in 1854, the Old School House is a Grade II listed former school room, head gardener s cottage and various estate buildings. It has been sympathetically converted over the years with the addition of the art studio, double garage and workshop. The Old School House has an attractive entrance hall with the drawing room to one side with it s original carved stone fireplace and mullioned windows. To the other side is the kitchen / breakfast room which has windows on three sides and is fitted with a range of timber units and a 4 oven electric AGA (cream). Beyond the kitchen is the utility room with steps up to the walk-through sun room and wine room with French windows into the garden and onto a long barn which now forms the dining room and study. A glazed passageway leads on through a small workroom into the stunning art studio with skylights and double doors onto a patio area. On the first floor of the school house are the master bedroom and en-suite bathroom, 4 further bedrooms (one of which is used as a dressing room) and family bathroom. There is a further bedroom above the workroom, next to the studio, with a bathroom below. Garden & Grounds The property is approached off the village lane through large iron gates onto the broad gravelled courtyard. To one side is the 2 bedroom guest cottage (Stable Lodge), and double garage and workshop. To the back, the art studio with a long barn to the other side and the school house to the front. The garden sits to one side of the house with steps leading up from a gravelled terrace to a large lawn with fringing borders and greenhouse. A flight of steps rises up the hillside to a seating area and a gate to the field of over 5 acres. There are meandering paths around the field with spectacular views across the Blackmore Vale and beyond.
