Outbuildings, Garden & Grounds
Courthayes occupies an elevated, private setting behind trees and laurel hedging. At the front it is approached off the passing road via an inclined driveway passing through electric gates to a gravelled parking area beside the house. A flight of paved steps rises on one side to the formal, walled garden, whose walls are fringed with richly planted borders surrounding areas of lawn, a pretty rose-garden and several mature trees including an extremely rare and striking Goat Horn tree. The remainder of the garden is bound by tall hedges above low stone walls and encompasses a pond, vegetable garden, orchard and greenhouse. Behind the house is a gravelled mews flanked on two sides by period, stone outbuildings; a barn that serves as a workshop, six garages, stable, tack room and lean-to wood store with built-in, temperature-controlled wine store. Vehicle access to the mews is via a separate gravelled driveway off a side lane. Beyond the mews the grounds rise gently up the valley side and are planted with a variety of mature trees including separate lime and poplar walks, all interspersed with mown paths. A green lane passes along one side boundary giving immediate access to miles of beautiful country walks.
Courthayes is set well back from the road running through the small village of East Chinnock, which has a church and village hall/post office and is surrounded by unspoilt countryside with miles of fantastic walks. For convenience the neighbouring village of West Coker is only a 5-minute drive and has a primary school, butcher/village shop/post office, two pubs, doctor's surgery, two petrol stations both with convenience stores and a hotel (see & ). For wider requirements the village lies midway between the nearby market town of Crewkerne and the regional centre of Yeovil. The local area also has a variety of good transport links. Nearby Yeovil Junction station has direct services to Waterloo (2 hours 19 minutes) and Exeter (1 hour 4 minutes) and Exeter, Bournemouth and Bristol airports are all within an hour and a half's drive. The local area is also blessed with a wide choice of schools from both the state and independent sectors. From the latter Perrott Hill (only 3.8 miles), the Sherborne schools, Leweston, Hazelgrove and Millfield are all within a 15-mile radius.
West Coker 1.5 miles • Crewkerne 4.5 miles • Yeovil town centre 5 miles • Yeovil Junction station (Waterloo 2 hours 19 minutes & Exeter 1 hour 4 minutes) 5.5 miles • A303 7.5 miles • Sherborne 10 miles • Taunton/M5 (J25) 22 miles • Exeter Airport 38 miles (Distances and times approximate)
