Like this property? Maybe you'll like these ones close by too.
West Lydford itself is a quintessential Somerset village, known for its stone-built houses, peaceful lanes and friendly community. Everyday amenities can be found in nearby Keinton Mandeville, with a wider selection of boutiques, cafés and restaurants in Somerton and Castle Cary — both within easy reach. The cultural hubs of Bruton and The Newt in Somerset lie close by, while Bath, Bristol and Wells are all within an hour’s drive. Excellent road and rail connections make London and the South West readily accessible, with Castle Cary station offering direct trains to Paddington in under two hours.
For families, the area is exceptionally well served by schools, including Millfield, Hazlegrove, King’s Bruton, Wells Cathedral and Sherborne.
The Old School is more than a home — it is a piece of Somerset’s history, beautifully reimagined for modern country living.
*We expect this property to sell to a buyer looking in the £755,000 - £780,000 range. Best offers are invited.*
