3 bedroom barn conversion

Manor Court is an impressive complex of former farm outbuildings originally built circa 1875, and now comprises nine characterful dwellings with 1 Manor Court enjoying the benefit of being detached with a private garden. This splendid property boasts a stunning drawing room featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers and a fine stone fireplace with wood burning stove.

LOCATION: The Parish of Horsington is in a Conservation Area surrounded by unspoilt farmland and with predominantly period stone properties in the neighbourhood. Road and rail communications are excellent with direct access onto the A357 to the south and with the A303 (connecting London and the West Country) to the north. Less than a mile away is Templecombe with its doctors’ surgery, post office/shop and mainline train station to London Waterloo/Exeter. Wincanton is a short drive away and provides a comprehensive range of amenities as do the nearby historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the market town of Shaftesbury. Of note is the excellent choice of State and Private schools in the area including Sherborne Boys, Girls and Preparatory schools, Wells Cathedral School, Millfield, Hazelgrove and Bruton.
