The Old School House Approximately 7 Metres North-West of Yeo Farmhouse

Devon

This listed building sits approximately 7 metres north-west of Yeo Farmhouse in a quiet corner of Dartmoor's upland landscape. As a schoolhouse, it once served the local farming community, providing education to children across what would have been a sparsely populated moorland parish. The structure's Grade II* listing reflects its historical significance and architectural character.

Today the building stands as a quiet testament to moorland settlement and rural education. Visitors exploring this part of Dartmoor on foot will encounter a modest but sturdy structure that speaks to the practical needs of scattered moorland communities. Its survival here, alongside the farmhouse, illustrates how education and agriculture were woven together in the life of the moor.
