The adjoining utility room with a ceramic sink, base units under wooden worktop also has the convenience of access to the gardens.

OUTSIDE
The plot is three quarters of an acre with the majority of the gardens lying to the rear, having been attractively landscaped with an array of trees, including turkey oak, cider apple, liquid amber and a beech hedge as well as stocked beds and borders providing form and structure. To the front of the house is a gravelled driveway, providing parking for several cars, as well as a double garage. Worth a special mention are the four handsome cedars of Lebanon trees, providing year-round colour and interest.
The separate music room to the rear is fully insulated, has power and internet and could be used as a home office but also a perfect space for teenagers. This is a fantastic addition to Sandwell.
SITUATION
The small village of Marston Magna comprises at its heart mainly period houses and cottages. The surrounding area is unspoilt farmland, where dairying predominates for the most part and the village is well placed for easy access to the full range of facilities available in Sherborne or the larger commercial centre of Yeovil as well as excellent access to the A303.
Communications have improved markedly in recent years with the upgrading of the A303 to a dual carriageway almost the whole way to London. In addition, there are mainline stations at Sherborne on the Waterloo to Exeter line or at Castle Cary on the Paddington to Penzance line. Thus, despite the rural nature of the area, London is a little over two hours away by both road and rail.
EDUCATION
The area is particularly noted for the high quality of its schools for children of all ages within easy motoring distance. Sherborne Prep, Hazelgrove and Port Regis are all within reach as are Sherborne Boys’ and Girls’ schools, The Gryphon, Leweston, Millfield and the Bruton schools.
SPORTING AND RECREATION
Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury and Bath. Golf at Sherborne, Tollard Royal and Blandford Forum. Walking and riding and cycling in the surrounding countryside. Water sports are on the south coast.
