The kitchen has a lovely garden outlook and ample space for dining, there is attractive panelling to one wall, painted ceiling beams, and door to the garden. There are a range of wall and floor cupboards with work tops over, an electric hob and oven and space for a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.

Bankside Cottage is tucked away in a quiet backwater close to the centre of the popular village of Bradford Abbas which is conveniently placed mid-way between the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. The village has a good number of amenities including a church, a primary school, a public house and a sports centre while both Sherborne and Yeovil provide between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with golf clubs at both Sherborne and Yeovil while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Communication 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 giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

Off street parking is available at the front of the cottage and a side gate allows access to the generous rear garden which is secure and fully enclosed. There is a private area of garden laid to stone chippings which abuts the rear of the cottage and makes an ideal seating spot. A stone built store provides storage and is equipped with power, light and plumbing for a washing machine. The remaining garden is laid to lawn divided in two parts by a pretty dwarf stone wall and has a pedestrian path to one side.
