Tripps Cottage is situated between the villages of Alweston and Purse Caundle which lie a short distance to the South of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. Alweston boasts ‘The Elms’ farmhouse kitchen and café and also has a village hall to its centre. There is a shop, petrol station and public house nearby in Bishops Caundle, whilst both Sherborne and Yeovil provide an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities.

Tripps Cottage stands proudly on its own with no visible neighbours and is quite possibly one of the most peacefully located properties on the market in the local area. The serenity of the surrounding countryside and magnificent 360 degree views are truly inspiring. Double gates lead onto a driveway providing parking and access to the detached garage equipped with an up and over door, power and light. The generous plot measures 0.2 acres, the main body of garden extends to one side, with a further area of garden on the Southern boundary. The main garden is partly laid to lawn, with areas of stone chippings and paving and has delightful established shrub and floral borders offering a range of colour and shape throughout the seasons. There are a variety of sheds, some with power and light, a fish pond with ornamental water feature and the gardens are enclosed by natural hedging and post fencing with incredible views in every direction .
