Description

Description

Fir Tree Cottage is a substantial four-bedroom detached home set within the village of Yenston, offering approximately 1,914 sq ft of accommodation, a generous level plot of around 0.21 acres, extensive driveway parking and a large detached garage/workshop.

Believed to date back to the Georgian period, the property retains plenty of character, including exposed beams, natural stone and brickwork, flagstone flooring, window seats and a log-burning stove, while also benefiting from double glazing and recently installed electric heating.

The ground floor offers two spacious reception rooms. The main sitting room measures approximately 19'11" x 12'3" and features a brick and timber fireplace with log-burning stove, flagstone flooring and window seating.

A glazed door leads into the impressive second reception room, measuring approximately 21'5" x 13'4", providing excellent space for both dining and additional seating. The room features hardwood parquet flooring and direct access to the rear garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room, approximately 19'8" x 8'10", is fitted with painted cabinetry, solid oak worktops and a Belfast sink. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, range-style electric oven and five-burner induction hob, with space for an American-style fridge/freezer. A door provides direct access to the garden.

Completing the ground floor is a bathroom with WC, wash basin and panelled bath with shower over.

Upstairs, the central landing provides access to four double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom overlooking the rear garden and benefiting from a recessed wardrobe area. Several bedrooms also provide useful loft or eaves storage.

Outside, Fir Tree Cottage sits within a predominantly level plot of approximately 0.21 acres. Double wrought-iron gates open onto a generous private driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. The entrance to the private driveway benefits from sensor-controlled traffic lights, assisting with access to and from the property.

The main garden lies to the side of the property and measures approximately 61' x 75' at its maximum points, with lawn, mature trees and established borders. A further rear garden of approximately 51'5" x 30' includes additional lawn, a paved patio, garden store and gated access.

A major feature of the property is the substantial detached garage/workshop, measuring approximately 26'10" x 21'8". The building benefits from power, lighting, windows, overhead storage, a sink with water heater and generous space for vehicles, storage or workshop use.

The garage may also offer potential for alternative uses such as a home office, ancillary accommodation or holiday let, subject to the necessary planning permissions and regulations.

Yenston is surrounded by Somerset countryside while remaining conveniently positioned for Templecombe, Sherborne, Wincanton, Bruton and Castle Cary. Templecombe offers a mainline railway station with direct services towards London Waterloo, while Sherborne provides a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities.

With approximately 1,914 sq ft of accommodation, four double bedrooms, generous gardens, extensive parking and a substantial detached garage/workshop, Fir Tree Cottage offers an excellent combination of character, space and flexibility.
