Garden
The Old Rectory is approached off a country lane down a long driveway that leads to a good-sized gravel parking area in front of the house, where there is room for several cars. Abbutting it and attached to the house is a triple garage incorporating a log store and workshop with a gardener's WC. The house sits well within its grounds that amount to about 1.1 acres and enjoys privacy and beautiful views. At the south west side of the house is a paved terrace, partially sheltered by the balcony, leading to a timber deck that is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Beyond the deck is a large pond with an island at its centre, which is a refuge for wild ducks and moorhens. The pond is fringed by Silver Birch and Willow with a beautiful Horse Chestnut on the island. Two small artificial streams connect to the pond, one leading to a smaller pond in the orchard. Beyond the pond the land slopes gently down into the valley below with the surrounding countryside as a backdrop. The grounds also include a small orchard and vegetable garden and are enclosed by mature hedging and park railings.
The Old Rectory is situated in the south-west side of the village of Yarlington amidst unspoilt countryside. The village has a parish church, pub and village hall. It is less than four miles from Castle Cary which has a good range of shops and local businesses including GP, dental and veterinary surgeries. Under five miles away is the town of Wincanton, which also has good facilities, including three supermarkets. Bruton, with its restaurants and art galleries, is just over five miles away and the abbey town of Sherborne, which has a Waitrose, is about 9 miles to the south. “The Newt in Somerset” with its beautiful gardens is nearby. Local transport links are good. The A371 and A303 are both within two miles and there are direct rail services from nearby Castle Cary and Templecombe to Paddington and Waterloo respectively. Bristol Airport is about an hour away by car. The area is renowned for its good state and independent schools. These include schools in Castle Cary, Wincanton, Bruton, and Sherborne plus Hazelgrove, All Hallows, Lewiston, Port Regis and Millfield.
