Originally built in 1485 the building was converted in 1959 into the 3 separate residences that exist today.

The historic village of South Petherton offers a good selection of day-to-day facilities including boutique stores, a butcher, bakery, greengrocer, wine merchant, pharmacy, newsagent and Post Office along with the new London restaurant HOLM. The village has an active community spirit and welcomes a revived annual Folk Festival and other local events throughout the year offering a variety of music, arts and culture. Yeovil to the east or the county town of Taunton to the west both offer a wider selection of shopping and recreational facilities. Communication links to the area are good, with the A303 providing links to the A30 and to the M5 at Junction 25. Mainline stations at Castle Cary, Yeovil and Taunton offer regular services to central London (less than two hours from Castle Cary) and Exeter Airport has a growing number of national and international flights, including daily flights to London City Airport.

From the garage and parking area the pathway leads through the incredible private gardens and offers access to the house from either front or back door.  The lawn is divided by hedges into 3 separate areas and is surrounded by stunning shrubs and trees and the potential in the garden is limitless.  The area outside the back door has raised herb beds, perfect for a kitchen garden, and terraced area, complete with hot tub and patio for enjoying evenings in the sunshine.  The capacity to have such large, private gardens but still be a stone’s throw from the town centre is totally unique and offers the perfect combination of town/country living.
