Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • 5 Bedrooms
  • Idyllic Setting
  • Walled Garden and Grounds
  • Tastefully Renovated
  • Generous Annexe
A fine and peacefully positioned mid Victorian detached residence with an autonomous 1 bedroom annexe and grounds amounting to approximately 1.3 acres.


Old Dairy House dates back to mid Victorian times and once served as both a dairy and a laundry/wash room for the neighbouring Manor and village. This delightful period home is peacefully located within the 17 acre grounds of the former Park School. As such the setting is truly unique with a stunning entrance, private setting and sweeping drive leading to the property and only a handful of other residents.
The property has undergone a thorough programme of renovation works in recent years to include a new boiler/heating system, new double glazed windows throughout, a new kitchen with underfloor heating and three new bath/shower rooms. The outbuilding has been converted to a sizeable annexe in 2021, which originally served as kennels for the hunting dogs belonging to the manor.
In brief the accommodation comprises of reception hall, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, play room, dining room, study, shower room, snug and formal sitting room. The first floor comprises of four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a pleasant outlook over the school grounds and open countryside. The principal bedroom has a wonderful dual aspect, with a dressing room and appointed bathrroom.   
The home is quite simply magnificent. It is the perfect blend of character and style and has been lovingly restored by the current owners as their own family home. Its attractive exterior is met with a welcoming light and spacious interior, providing a wonderful and flexible home, especially for families.

The Annexe
The annexe is completely autonomous from the house. The annexe has its own thermostatically controlled central heating and garden area. In brief, the property comprises of a wonderful sitting room with garden access, fitted kitchen, utility room and double bedroom with en suite.

Services
Mains water and electric. Oil central heating. Septic tank drainage. Council Tax Band F.
We have been advised that there are no service charges payable for the former school grounds with a right of access in place over the private drive.

Chilton Cantelo is a small rural village, lying in between Mudford and Marston Magna and is home to the former Park School. There are nearby village Primary Schools and numerous public houses . The large commercial town of Yeovil is approximately a 10 minute drive to the south where all day to day amenities can be found together with secondary schooling and Yeovil College. Yeovil has its own train stations whilst there is a further station at nearby Sherborne. This famous Abbey town is well known for its period architecture and bustling high street.

Outside the gardens have been landscaped and mostly replanted over the last 3 years. A drive sweeps round towards the property with some newly laid Cotswold gravel in front of the property. There is a large area of garden to the front of the property, bordered by a stream and surrounded by mature trees. A formal walled garden is located to the rear of the property, a wonderful private area from which to relax and unwind. There are a number of stores, including a storage barn measuring 19’10” x 10’1”.
