Sherrington is a small and quintessential village situated in the Wylye Valley, nestled within the rolling Wiltshire countryside that is a Conservation Area and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village itself orientates around a picturesque pond, once a working watercress farm, giving the cottage its name; and a 12th century church.

The nearby villages of Codford and Heytesbury offer a range of excellent amenities between them, including a doctors surgery, mini supermarket, Post Office/shop, vets, a primary school and two public houses. The market town of Warminster offers further everyday facilities including a Waitrose as well as Bishopstrow Hotel with private membership spa/gym.

Communication links in the area are good, the A303 is approximately 5 miles away, which links to the M3 to London. High speed rail links are available from Warminster, Frome, Westbury and Salisbury stations. Heathrow Airport is also approximately 1.5 hours' drive away.
