The sixty-foot east-facing rear garden is designed into three separate zones, a secluded gravel courtyard containing a timber pergola and framed planting area.

Situation

Barwick, being on the Somerset/Dorset border, provides the opportunity to experience country living and village life, yet still within a stone's throw of the regional centres of Yeovil, Sherborne and Dorchester.

Nearby Yeovil Country Park boasts 127 acres of beautiful countryside with its network of footpaths and waterways, riverside and woodland walks following the path of the River Yeo. The 20 acres that make up Ninesprings is believed to have been developed as an ornamental park for the Aldon Estate. You can enjoy plentiful walks leading to Aldon Park with wide open spaces, ideal for dog walking.

Yeovil has some excellent road and rail links across the south and to London, making this a very desirable countryside location. There are two mainline railway stations at Yeovil Junction and Pen Mill with frequent daily trains to Exeter, Bristol and London Waterloo. The town is also served by four international airports – Bristol, Exeter, Bournemouth and Cardiff, all within an hour’s drive.
