A charming detached character stone cottage offering well proportioned accommodation with good sized three bedrooms, presented to the market with no onward chain and occupying a generously sized plot, close to the heart of the village. The cottage is situated in the popular Somerset village of Henstridge, which boasts a local shop with post office, two public houses, both serving food, a highly rated primary school and a church. The village also has good communication links with the A30 being close by providing easy access to Shaftesbury and Sherborne plus a mainline train station just three miles away at Templecombe. We believe that the cottage dates to the 1800s and has been owned by the seller for the last fourteen years. During their time of ownership the property has been well maintained and improved in the initial years. The property sits in the middle of its grounds and benefits from oil fired central heating, uPVC double glazed windows, which have an attractive pane glass finish and boasts character features, which include deep window sills, window seats and exposed timbers. This lovely home must be viewed to really appreciate how it would satisfy many types of buyers' need from those looking for first time home, first time family home or for one's leisure years. It would also make a great addition to a rental portfolio or a lock up and leave UK base. An early viewing is strongly suggest so as not to miss out on the chance to be the next owner.
