The property is situated in the heart of the ever popular village of Leigh which itself lies in the beautiful Dorset countryside to the south of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. The village has a church, a shop and sub post office, garage, and a village hall to its centre, while both Sherborne, Yeovil and Dorchester lie within short motoring distance providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with many walks to be had from the village itself, while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Communication links are good with a halt at nearby Chetnole on the Weymouth to Bath and Bristol line. A main line station at Sherborne links 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.
Dual access leads to generous parking area at the front of the property. Here there is a substantial double garage built of reconstituted stone under a pitched slate roof, with power and light. There is a shed and brick workshop providing further storage. The gardens are wonderfully private with areas of lawn and terrace extending around the house, interspersed with an array of floral borders and specimen trees. There is a separate working garden with green house, fruit cages and vegetable beds. A post and rail fence divides the garden from an attractive orchard, complete with separate field entrance. This separate orchard has good prospects for a separate residiential plot, subject to planning permissions.
