To the right and overlooking the rear garden is the stunning open plan kitchen / dining / living space featuring oak effect flooring and a freestanding multi-fuel stove. The kitchen is fitted with a good number of light grey ‘shaker’ style cabinets and enjoys light from windows to the front and side. There are two steps up to the reception room which is currently used as a dining / games room and features a floor to ceiling window and oak French doors onto the deck. Beyond this is the main bedroom and en-suite shower room.

SITUATION
Buckhorn Weston is a desirable village with a great sense of community. At the centre is a popular public house, village hall and playing field, church and well supported cricket club. The nearby towns of Templecombe and Gillingham have mainline railway stations offering a reliable service to London Waterloo and the West Country. Gillingham and Wincanton also has a choice of supermarkets, doctors surgery’s and a range of retails outlets to provide for your everyday needs. The area is renowned for its outstanding state and independent primary and secondary schools and there are a range of countryside pursuits including shooting, horse riding and golf.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached from the lane though high metal gates into an area of hard standing that will allow parking for many vehicles, but also provides access to the barn for a horse trailer and or other similar vehicles as well as access to the paddock. A picket fence encloses the front garden with post and rail fencing defining the boundaries of the back garden and paddock. The main boundaries are a mix of hedging and close panel fencing. The rear garden is laid to lawn with a timber deck accessed from the property that enjoys views and a sunny aspect. Directly behind the house is a block built barn with double doors large enough for a small tractor and the newer, steel frame open barn has a concrete base, ideal for the storage of equipment and hay and has an internal stable. The field stable is situated in the paddock and has the benefit of an attached feed / tack room and an area of hard standing.
