West Coker is a pretty village set mainly in a conservation area and is mostly built of local Hamstone. The village amenities comprise a Post Office/shop, butchers, a primary school, two public houses, a hotel and a petrol station. There is also a doctors' surgery with dispensary and village Church.

Many residents spend time enjoying the plentiful walks into the surrounding countryside. The market town of Yeovil is situated just 3 miles away, offering an excellent range of shopping, night-life and leisure facilities. For transport links, the A303 is located circa 5 miles away, with Yeovil Junction train station, offering regular services to London, located circa 4 miles away.

The property is approached via a private tarmac driveway which opens to a large tarmac parking/turning area at the front of the house. The open fronted garage benefits from having light and power connected, as does the wooden storage shed to the right hand side. A further store is accessed from the veranda.

The remainder of the front garden is laid to lawn with a small stream running parallel to the boundary line and then underneath the driveway.

At the side of the house a gate opens to the paved courtyard area which features a pretty planted border along one side along with a covered pergola outside the kitchen and steps rising up to a small lawned area. The store/workshop at the rear is accessed from the internal rear lobby across the neighbouring property’s land.
