East House is approached off the village lane via two driveways, one on either side of the house, providing plenty of parking and access to the property's large garage on the north boundary. The lawned, front garden is bisected by a path paved with mill stones that passes through an avenue of clipped box obelisks leading to a flight of steps and the front door. Immediately behind the house is a wide, deep paved terrace overlooked by the garden room and studio/home office, which provides ample space for outside dining and entertaining. From the terrace a flight of steps leads up to the main area of garden, which is bound by mature trees and hedging, very private and divided into two parts by a tall, south-facing wall. At the top of the garden is a charming, open-fronted thatched summer house, where Thomas Hardy reputedly used to read to the local school children when he visited the village and which provides far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside. The lawn between the terrace and the summer house is fringed by borders stocked with roses, flowering shrubs and herbaceous perennials that provide a rich tapestry of colour throughout the growing season.
Agents Note: East House is to be sold fully furnished, including carpets, curtains and lights.

East House is situated on the edge of the peaceful, unspoilt village of Sydling St Nicholas, which is in a beautiful valley within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has immediate access to miles of wonderful walks and the village has an active community centred around the popular 'Greyhound Inn' pub and the parish church. The neighbouring and larger village of Cerne Abbas has a village shop, primary school, three pubs and GP surgery, with the county town of Dorchester also nearby and able to meet most day to day needs. There are railway stations in Dorchester, Yeovil and Sherborne, all with regular and direct services to Waterloo. The airports at Bournemouth, Exeter and Southampton are all relatively close by offering connections within the UK and to many international destinations. Dorset is blessed with a wide choice of popular schools from both the state and independent sectors including the well-regarded Thomas Hardye School (State secondary) in Dorchester plus Bryanston, Milton Abbey, Clayesmore and the Sherborne schools from the independent sector
