Internally the accommodation is well proportioned with an abundance of natural light throughout and is arranged from a welcoming hall and cloakroom which leads into a dining room with a southerly orientation and far reaching views, flowing into a charming double aspect kitchen fitted with a range of floor and wall cupboards and worktops over an inset 1 ½ bowl sink and drainer.

The dual aspect sitting room seamlessly flows into the conservatory and enjoys views of the garden and glorious countryside beyond. Subject to any necessary consents, this whole area could be opened up into the dining room creating a larger reception space and open plan style of living. There are two double bedrooms and a third single bedroom, all of which enjoy stunning uninterrupted countryside views, the principal bedroom having en suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

The property lies with the popular Dorset village of Bishops Caundle that has a garage, a shop, a church and a pub to its centre and lies in the glorious Dorset countryside to the south east of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and to the west of Sturminster Newton. The house itself occupies an elevated position affording it some wonderful views over local countryside while the grounds surround it on three sides. Both Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil lie within comfortable motoring distance providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with many walks and rides to be had from the village itself. Communication links are good with a main line station at Sherborne linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

The Old Chapel is set back from the main village road, with double gates leading onto a driveway providing parking and access to the detached timber garage equipped with an up and over door, power and light. A separate shed provides additional storage. The generous plot measures 0.2 acres, the main body of garden extends to one side, predominantly laid to level lawn with mature shrubs and specimen trees offering a range of colour and shape throughout the seasons. A paved terrace abuts the sitting and dining room, perfect for outside entertaining. There is open post and rail fencing with lovely views of undulating pastureland giving way to the more rugged heights of Bulbarrow.
