Secondary Accommodation
The Grange incorporates secondary accommodation that has historically provided a significant rental income stream. The north-east wing contains three self-contained flats with the ground floor flat currently serving as a home office. Tucked away behind one side of the house is Bakers Cottage, a two-storey cottage with its own patio garden. The secondary accommodation units share pedestrian access to the village lane.
Outbuildings, Garden & Grounds
The house is approached via a short approach drive leading to a gravelled parking area in front of the house. The parking extends partway along one side of the house leading to Bakers Cottage and a service yard incorporating four storerooms. The south-facing garden extends out behind the house, bound by a beech hedge plus tall brick and stone walling. A stone-paved terrace fringes the southern façade before dropping down to a level lawn fringed by floral borders. Adjacent is a walled garden containing a productive orchard containing apple, pear, damson & quince trees plus several native trees including Copper Beech. Within the grounds are a greenhouse and a stable block containing three loose boxes. Beyond the garden is about 7 acres of pasture with road access divided into two paddocks, with the River Yeo running between them.
Fishing Rights: The property has double bank fishing rights along the length of the River Yeo running through its pasture land.
Agent's Note: A public footpath runs across the north of the field following along the outside of the garden wall and travelling south-east towards Grants Hill.
The Grange is situated on the southern edge of the conservation village of Bradford Abbas, which is surrounded by pretty, unspoilt countryside and is a thriving community with a parish church, popular pub (The Rose & Crown Tripadvisor 4.5), CofE primary school, post office, village hall and cricket club. The neighbouring village of Yetminster has a Spar convenience store and a health centre with a dispensary, whilst Sherborne is eight minutes by car and can meet most day-to-day needs including Waitrose and Sainsbury supermarkets and a mix of local businesses including dental and veterinary surgeries. For travel links there is an early rail service from Yetminster to Paddington (fastest 2 hours 13 minutes) as well as regular services from Sherborne to Waterloo (2 hours 15 minutes) and the airports at Bristol, Bournemouth and Exeter are both only about an hour's drive away. The local area also has a wide choice of schools from both the state and independent sectors. These include the well-regarded Gryphon School (state secondary) in Sherborne, Leweston, the Sherborne schools, Perrott Hill and Hazelgrove, which are all within a 10-mile radius.

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
