To the front of the property there is a small, gravelled area bordered by railings.
SITUATION
This part of south Somerset is rightly regarded as one of the finest areas in the South West, as the undulating hills and valleys give way to the wilder, and more dramatic scenery of West Dorset to the south.
Bower Hinton, a hamlet lying to the south of Martock, comprises at its heart mainly period houses and cottages. Most of the hamlet is designated a conservation area in which a policy of strict planning control has ensured that it has changed little over the years. However, the excellent Hollies Hotel, Rose & Crown public house and the popular Old Dairy Cafe, certainly give this traditional village something to shout about. In nearby Martock there is a Doctors, Dentist and a Co-op convenience store. Further afield, there is an excellent farm shop at Crewkerne which is a fifteen minute drive, and where there is also a good range of everyday facilities including a Waitrose Supermarket and a swimming pool and fitness centre.
Communications to the area are excellent, the A303 lies about 0.25 miles to the south and is predominately dual carriageway to the M3, London to the east and Exeter to the west. There is a mainline station at Yeovil (Waterloo about 2 hours 25 minutes) and Castle Cary (Paddington 1 hour 40 minutes). Junction 25 of the M5 is within easy reach at Taunton. Rail connections are also available at Crewkerne (Exeter/Waterloo line) or Taunton (Penzance/Paddington).
