Church Hill, Templecombe, Somerset, BA8

Originally the former Rectory, The Beeches forms part of a small development of just three individual homes, built and tastefully redeveloped in 2010.



Perfectly positioned down a quiet private lane, the property enjoys a sense of privacy, yet remains within easy walking distance of all village amenities, including the mainline railway station to London and the Co-op village shop.

An attractive entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the spacious and flexible accommodation throughout. To the right, a versatile third reception room offers many possibilities, ideal as a ground floor bedroom, home office, or creative studio.

The delightful triple-aspect sitting room enjoys plenty of natural light and a lovely outlook over the gardens, with double-glazed French doors providing direct access to the outside. This inviting space flows seamlessly into a separate dining area, perfectly positioned next to the kitchen, ideal for every day family life and entertaining.

The well-appointed kitchen features a range of white wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and an inset stainless-steel sink and drainer. Keen cooks will appreciate the Kenwood ‘Range style’ double oven with five-ring hob and extractor hood, along with space for a freestanding fridge-freezer and dishwasher.

A practical utility room, accessed directly from the kitchen, offers additional storage, plumbing for white goods, and houses the combi boiler, with a door to the garden. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four comfortable double bedrooms. The dual-aspect principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bath/shower room.

Outside, the generous gardens wrap around the property on three sides, creating an attractive and secure setting for children to play, pets to roam, or gardening enthusiasts to enjoy.

To the front, there is a large single garage and a gravel driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.

In summary, The Beeches is a beautifully presented and versatile family home, offering a perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience - all within a sought-after village location.

OUTSIDE

To the front there is a gravel driveway providing parking for several cars and a large single garage. A gate gives access to the side and rear gardens. These are a particular feature of the property, being of a generous size, mainly laid to lawn on three sides and enjoying a high degree of seclusion.

Templecombe is situated in the beautiful Somerset countryside and is well placed for the many amenities on offer, including a mainline railway station (London Waterloo 2hrs), post office, welcoming community café and Co-op convenience store. There is the village Church, primary school and doctor's surgery with dispensary, and the village hall offers space for community clubs (bowls, youth, mums & toddlers), while the recreation ground has a tennis court and skate park. A big attraction of Templecombe is its accessibility, being situated close to both the A303 and the A30 with fast routes east and west towards the motorway network. The mainline station is an obvious draw, while local comprehensive shopping, cultural and leisure amenities are found close by in the towns of Sherborne, Wincanton, Shaftesbury and Yeovil. To the south, the World Heritage Jurassic coast is within easy striking distance. The area is renowned for its schools, both independent and state and the surrounding countryside, much of which is an area of outstanding natural beauty, is a playground for sporting and leisure pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling, golf and field sports. There are village cricket clubs close by and sailing and other water sports are readily accessible on the south coast.
