Sitting on a quiet lane in the peaceful village of South Perrott in beautiful West Dorset, The Old School is a stylish holiday home which retains many of its original features, including the school bell, Gothic arched doors, and mullion windows.

The Old School is a charming stone and tiled country cottage which used to be the village school.
