Naish managing director, Matt Hendry, said: "It’s always a pleasure to be involved in the sale of a property with such rich heritage and history.

"The hamlet of Harton forms part of the Chomley Estates and can be dated back to the 17th century when most of the properties would have had thatched roofs.

"This beautiful school house was built in 1875 to educate the village children, and, after closing many years later due to low admissions, it was developed by award winning designers EcoArc to create a superb family home.

"All of us at Naish Estate Agents are delighted to be involved with the sale of this fine property."

At the heart of the house is a living and dining area in what would have been the old school hall with a log burner and  access to the garden via large double glazed patio doors.
