The cottage sits at the top of a private drive with grounds extending to about a quarter of an acre and boasting rural views over the adjacent fields. The property is situated in the pretty village of North Cheriton, which lies about three miles from both Templecombe, where there is a mainline train station and Wincanton, which offers a full range of amenities. This tiny rural village boasts a strong community with life centred around the grade II listed church or the village hall, which host a variety of events and is available for hire. Schooling for all ages is within easy reach with a primary school at Horsington, Sexey's and Kings at Bruton and private schools also in Sherborne, which is only six and half miles away. This delightful cottage has its origins dating back to Elizabethan times and has benefitted from historic sympathetic extensions that blend seamlessly into the original property. The cottage retains many character features, including a wonderful stone fireplace with Bressummer beam, some exposed stone walls and deep window sills. To satisfy modern day expectations, the cottage benefits from uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating. The property has an easy to use layout with plenty of ground floor space, which provides multi functional usage and comfortable living with the option to change to one's own taste and choice, as and when. A viewing is absolutely vital to truly appreciate what this home has to offer and how it will meet many potential buyers' needs.
