The property lies close to the popular village of Poyntington which is conveniently placed just a few miles to the north of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne surrounded by some glorious rolling countryside. The village is a particularly attractive one from which there are numerous walks in all directions over the local countryside while at the same time being within short motoring distance of both Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the region is well known for its schools which include the Sherborne Schools, the Bruton Schools, Millfield and St Antony's Leweston. Transport links are good with a main line station at Sherborne linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton.

The garage is impressively sized and currently serves as a versatile utility and workshop space. It features an up-and-over door, pedestrian access to the courtyard, roof storage and power, light and water connections, making it ideal for hobbies, storage or potential further development (subject to permissions). The gardens are beautifully arranged, well-tended and framed by character stone walls and fencing. Approached through a gated entrance, the block-paved driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage. The main garden is defined by manicured hedging and box borders, with a lawn dotted with acers, purple beech, lilac and ornamental hazel. Additional features include raised planted borders, a summer house, a raised decked seating area and a pedestrian gate opening onto a pretty lane with idyllic views towards the village pond and seating area. The west-facing courtyard garden, accessible from both the kitchen/dining room and sitting room, is paved and provides a perfect spot for pots, outdoor dining and enjoying the last of the evening sun.
