Picture the perfect country hideaway and Ford Cottage may well spring to mind. Tucked away amidst gorgeous, unspoilt countryside down an unmade, adopted lane, the cottage was built in the 18th century in a wonderfully peaceful setting. It is Grade II Listed and has recently undergone a full makeover and is beautifully presented. It has a cosy sitting room, a charming, newly installed farmhouse-style kitchen, two inglenooks, three bedrooms, ensuite shower room and family bathroom. It stands in just under an acre containing two spring-fed streams and backs onto mature, broad leaf woodland. It also has parking for two cars plus two conjoined timber single garages.


Location

Corscombe 0.6 mile • A356 1.3 miles • Beaminster 4.5 miles • Evershot 5.5 miles • Crewkerne Station (Waterloo 2 hours 28 minutes) 6.5 miles • Yeovil 8.5 miles • West Bay (Jurassic Coast) 12 miles (Distances and times approximate)

Ford Cottage is situated about half a mile from the small, rural village of Corscombe, which is set along sunken lanes amidst lush, hilly countryside on the northern scarp slope of the Dorset Downs, approximately 8 miles from the town of Yeovil. The village has a pub (The Fox Inn/0.5 mile/Tripadvisor 4/5), church and cricket ground and the nearby small market town of Beaminster can meet most day-to-day needs. The cottage has immediate access to miles of footpaths and there are good, accessible transport links including a regular train service from Crewkerne to Waterloo along with the A356 and A37.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 17, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 19, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on September 7, 2009 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
