Shapwick School Shapwick, Somerset A unique opportunity to redevelop the site of a former school, comprising the Grade II* Listed Shapwick Manor and its ancillary buildings with approximately 10.39 acres (4.2 hectares). Available as a whole or in six individual lots. Shapwick Manor, 21 Station Road, Shapwick, Bridgwater, TA7 9NJ Taunton Station 18 miles (London Paddington 1 hour 50 mins), Taunton 21 miles, Bristol Airport 21 miles, Bristol 30 miles History The site of the former Shapwick School has a long and fascinating history. The manor of Shapwick originally belonged to Glastonbury Abbey, forming part of its Pouholt (Polden) estate. It was divided into two halves in medieval times. After the Dissolution of the monasteries, the manor passed to Thomas Walton and then to the Rolle family. The manor house (Shapwick Manor, previously known as Down House) was built after the manor was divided. It dates from around 1475; originally it was moated but the moat was filled in during the rebuilding by Henry Bull in the first quarter of the 17th century.

Drawing No. U13739-02 | Date 15.09.20 Evergreen 2 5 M 9 D I The Old L A L Farmhouse L O A R N N E I A M The Property Lot 1: Shapwick Manor Shapwick Manor is the Grade II* Listed manor house in this pretty North Somerset village. The manor has been used as the main school house for Shapwick School which is now no longer operating. Inside the manor there are some excellent reception rooms and if converted back into a residential house, it would make for a statement house in the village. At present there are 25 rooms which could be reconfigured into reception rooms or bedrooms, but it is likely rooms will be joined together or changed into bathrooms upstairs depending on the required use and subject to all the relevant permissions. The residential development would make for an exciting venture. The total size is approximately 11,684 sq. ft / 1085 sq. m. There is a well maintained driveway with stone pillars which leads to parking directly outside the front of the house. The gardens are predominantly to the front of the house and made up of relatively flat lawns. There is an impressive dovecote set away from the house and is set within the walled garden which surrounds the boundaries.

Drawing ref. dig/8432099/OHL Lot 2: The Stables, Hayloft & other outbuildings In front and to the side of the manor house are a number of former stables of brick/stone construction, which were again formerly used as classrooms. They appear to be in relatively good condition and would subdivide into two or three units subject to the usual consents. Behind the stables on the road is a further detached stone barn which we understand is currently used for storage. There are various temporary prefabricated classrooms, a walled garden, along with a former sports hall which measures approximately 78’ 6” by 48’. All of these buildings offer strong development possibilities either as this single lot or combined with the main Shapwick Manor.
