The villages of East and West Lydford are centred on the old Parish Churches and bridges over the River Brue and have a very active community with a good number of societies and organisations. Within a few minutes there is a small local Budgens supermarket which also provides newspapers, off licence etc. There are many good pubs and restaurants in the area, the closest being the Cross Keys pub within walking distance.

There are good state and independent schools close by including Keinton Mandeville C of E primary, Strode College, Millfield, Sherborne, Wells Cathedral, the Bruton schools, Downside and Hazlegrove.
Accommodation
The Gables was formerly two cottages, one of which thought to date back to the early 18th Century and the other added latterly during the Victorian era. Now one home, this property is ideally suited for family living with both sociable and private living spaces, and notably four reception rooms which gives room for independent teenagers too!There is a porch at the front of the property, however the house is more frequently entered through the lobby entrance by the main parking area and garage. The lobby has a door leading directly through to the garden which is perfect for dogs and an inner door opening into the kitchen.

The kitchen breakfast room is well appointed with plenty of wall and based units with granite effect work surfaces and a peninsula which houses the sink. There is a mid-level oven and grill, plus a ceramic hob and plumbing within the units for a dishwasher. Adjoining the kitchen there is a pantry too for further storage. The formal dining room leads directly off the kitchen and has a lovely garden outlook to the rear and a ceiling beam adding a feel of character. There is a utility room as well which adjoins the dining room. The sitting room is a large living area, extending to nearly 22' in length with painted ceiling beams, pretty window seats and a wood burning stove. In addition there is a snug room, a side hall, a study and a cloakroom; all on the ground floor.

Leading upstairs, there are five bedrooms; the largest being the master bedroom. Within the master there is a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite shower room. The master also has a characterful vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Three of the further bedrooms enjoy the use of built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard with an oak cabinet basin, sleek floor and wall tiles, a heated towel rail, a bath with overhead shower and a w/c. The loft has also been converted to provide additional accommodation if desired, while still retaining two accessible storage areas.

The parking area on the left hand side of the house leads directly up to the double garage which has two sets of up-and-over doors and lighting internally and externally.
