An attractive detached family home situated in a small cul-de-sac of properties built about 25 years ago by the well respected builders, C G Fry and Sons. The development comprises only 36 properties and is situated just a short walk (less than 200 metres) from the community run shop and cafe in the heart of the village. Whilst the house would benefit from a little modernisation, the house is a generous size, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), ground floor w.c. spacious living room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory. There are lovely rural views from the back of the house and a delightful garden. On one side of the house is a driveway providing comfortable parking for two vehicles and leading to the garage. The house retains the original wooden double glazed windows (apart from the conservatory, which has uPVC double glazing). As there is no mains gas in the village, the central heating is fired by an oil boiler, which has been replaced in recent years. No Onward Chain.

Thorncombe village lies in the western corner of Dorset close to the Devon and Somerset borders and just 11 miles inland from the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic coast. The nearest towns are Chard and Crewkerne (both just over 6 miles away) and the seaside town of Lyme Regis is just 10 miles to the south. The area has been designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the village itself has a very strong community with many local clubs on offer and an excellent community run shop/PO/cafe. There are numerous footpaths available from the doorstep and the famous Forde Abbey and gardens is just a mile down the road. To find out more, please visit .
