There is also a playing field, church and well supported cricket club. The nearby towns of Templecombe and Gillingham have mainline railway stations offering a reliable service to London Waterloo and the West Country. Gillingham and Wincanton also offer a choice of supermarkets, doctors surgery’s and a range of retail outlets to provide for your everyday needs. The area is renowned for its outstanding state and independent primary and secondary schools and there are a range of countryside pursuits and sports clubs for your leisure time, including shooting, horse riding, rugby, football and golf.

Outside
Externally, the property enjoys a generous south-facing garden, providing a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining. Complementing the cottage are a range of outbuildings, including a substantial car barn, a single garage with a useful office or workshop to the rear. Additionally there is ample parking and turning space, making the property particularly well suited to those requiring storage, workspace or hobby facilities.

Combining a sought-after rural setting with significant renovation potential, character features and versatile ancillary buildings, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a charming period cottage with the scope to create a bespoke countryside residence.

Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (aml) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property. W&W use a specialist service called "Guild 365" to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
