Cloverhay, Yetminster, Sherborne

THE AGENT SAYS...
Offering a generous amount of living space, 4 Cloverhay is an inviting property presented in good order and ready to move into. Built in the 1980s, the house has a family friendly broken-plan layout and is neutrally decorated throughout - making it easy to live with while deciding how to add your own stamp. A few standout features are the kitchen/diner and adjoining utility room, the quietly situated ground floor study, and the private rear garden that backs onto open fields.

THE PROPERTY
The main entrance is set back slightly to create shelter and opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway. Panelled, fully glazed double doors create a lobby area inside the entrance and there is a built-in cupboard for coats and shoes. Turning right down the hallway, alongside the stairs, leads to a cloakroom, study, and under stairs cupboard. The study is very well situated to create a home office as it is nicely separated from the rest of the ground floor accommodation. On the opposite side of the hall is the sitting room, which is centred around a fireplace and has glazed double doors to the kitchen/diner.

The kitchen/dining room is a good-size and has a very practical layout, well suited to family life. The dining area adjoins the sitting room and has sliding doors out to the patio and garden. A peninsula safely divides the working area of the kitchen from the dining area but keeps the whole space sociable. There is a good range of fitted units, a built-under double oven, induction hob, sink, and integrated dishwasher. The utility room is adjacent to the kitchen and provides an additional sink, further storage, space/plumbing for a washing machine, space for a fridge-freezer, and direct access to the garden.

On the first floor, a generous landing leads to five double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobe space and an en-suite shower room which is fully tiled and comprises a large glass shower enclosure, WC, bidet, wash basin, shaver socket, and extractor fan. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are over the garage and are particularly long rooms. There may well be scope to combine these two rooms and reconfigure or create one spacious principal suite. Bedroom 4 is a nicely proportioned double with built-in wardrobes and bedroom 5 is also a good-size room. Like the en-suite, the family bathroom is also fully tiled and comprises a bath with shower over, wash basin, and WC. There is an airing cupboard on the landing for linens/towels.

OUTSIDE
At the front of the house is a lawned garden with driveway parking alongside, in front of the integral double garage. A paved path leads to the front door and there is a pedestrian gate alongside the garage, leading to the rear garden.

The rear garden is level and laid to lawn with a grassy bank at the end. There is a low retaining wall in front of the bank with two bench seats built into it. A paved path alongside the garage continues around the back of the house and widens to form an irregular shape patio in front of the sliding doors from the kitchen/dining room. Various shrubs are dotted around the borders of the garden and next to the house. The garden backs on to open fields and has potential to be a delightful space.

SURROUNDING AREA
The historic village of Yetminster, situated on the river Wriggle, is one of the most sought-after villages in the area. It has a pub, Norman church, village shop, post office, health centre, primary school, and its own railway station. Much of Yetminster is designated a conservation area and there are many beautiful country walks in the local area. It lies within the western area of the Blackmore Vale, and is within easy commuting distance of the abbey town of Sherborne, the regional centre of Yeovil, and the county town of Dorchester. The open countryside of the Dorset Downs, which lies to the South, is for the most part designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and beyond this is the Dorset coast. The A303 can be joined to the north, at Sparkford, giving good access back to London and the Home Counties along the A303/M3 route.
