GTH are proud to present this substantial, one of a kind property that offers a wonderful lifestyle for someone who wishes to live rurally, yet be within walking distance of the village. 
Rock Cottage is believed to have been built in the 1800’s and has been within the same family for generations. The property is free of any listed restrictions and is built of stone, brick and block rendered construction under a tiled roof. Rock Cottage is set back with an elevated position overlooking the beautiful village of Nether Compton. The property has been lovingly restored throughout and extended by the current owner in 2005/2006 to offer a great deal of flexibility and an excellent level of finish throughout. The property has much charm and character as it benefits from period features, alongside generous modern proportions and good light throughout.
At ground floor level, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to all key living areas, downstairs cloakroom and utility. The kitchen forms part of the extension that was carried out in 2005/2006. The extension was designed with socialising and everyday living in mind and flows effortlessly into the dining/lounge area. The kitchen is fitted with comprehensive range of base and wall units, worktops over, four ring LPG gas hob, eye level electric oven and a beautiful island to its centre with storage and space to use as a breakfast bar. Attention to detail is apparent with underfloor heating and French doors leading out to the patio area – perfect for alfresco dining. The lounge/diner is a characterful and charming room with a an eye catching inglenook fire place and bread oven as you would expect to see with a property of this age. The ground floor is complete with a most useful office space.
Leading up to the first floor there is a large galleried landing allowing an abundance of light to shine through. There are four good sized double bedrooms with the master bedroom benefitting from a delightful Juliette balcony and en-suite shower room. The remainder of the bedrooms are served by the family bathroom equipped with a bath and overhead shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail.

The village benefits from a village green, a public house and church to its centre and is for the most part made up of attractive period houses. Both Sherborne and Yeovil provide an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities and the region is well known for its public and privately funded schooling. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with golf clubs at both Sherborne and Yeovil. Communication links are good with a main line station linking directly to London Waterloo, while road links along the A303 joined at Wincanton give swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.
