Lily Lane farmhouse is tucked away in a quiet backwater yet within close reach of the village centre of Templecombe, which has amenities which include a primary school, a church, a doctor’s surgery, a community café, Co-op store and above all a mainline station that connects to London Waterloo and Exeter. The town of Wincanton lies 5 miles to the north, where the A303 provides swift access to London and the West Country. The historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil lie to the west providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreation and shopping facilities, as well as an excellent choice of public and state schools.

A beautifully paved south facing terrace abuts the rear of the home, this serene outdoor living area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or taking in the tranquil garden views. With seamless access from the kitchen and drawing room, the terrace enhances the home’s indoor–outdoor flow and creates a great extension of the living space.
The garden is a peaceful haven, laid to manicured lawn and established borders that bring vibrant colour and texture throughout the seasons. A further area of garden is designated as a vegetable garden with raised stone beds with ease of access to a former privy now providing a useful gardeners toilet. Stone wall boundaries complement the period character of the home and gates provide access to the driveway laid to stone chippings offering ample parking for several vehicles and access to the Granary which is used for storage but requires some remedial works.
For those who enjoy working on hobbies or need extra storage space, the garden also houses a large workshop (29’4 x 20’2), once an RAF classroom, complete with power and light. Whether used as a creative space, a home office, or a storage area, it’s a versatile addition to the property.
Two five-bar gates separates the main garden and drive with the orchard, punctuated with an impressive array of apple, pear and plum trees. This could equally be utilised as a grazing paddock for perhaps sheep or ponies.
