The rural hamlet of Hardington Marsh lies between Yeovil and Crewkerne, south of the A30. Nearby Hardington Mandeville provides village facilities including a public house, post office/shop, church and an active village hall. Both Yeovil and Crewkerne are readily accessible with the latter offering a Waitrose supermarket and both towns offer mainline train stations. The Jurassic Coast is also easily reached directly to the south.

The grounds extend to approximately one third of an acre which wrap around the cottage with the garage and parking area located at one end. From this area a pathway leads into the main garden which is predominantly lawned and enjoys delightful views. Immediately behind the cottage is an enclosed area with a stone built workshop together with a large side area currently featuring vegetable growing areas and a greenhouse.

To the rear of the plot is a further area with a pretty bridge that crosses a shallow stream (dry for most of the summer) with this area mainly left to wild flower meadow. This is a lovely area, particularly tranquil and from where a lovely rural aspect can be enjoyed.
