Horsington House is an impressive Grade II Listed country house peacefully set back from the road via a quarter of a mile tree lined drive. The house was skilfully re-modelled around twenty years ago into two duplexes and two flats with the entrance off an impressive communal hallway. The main door to Apartment 3 is on the ground floor and enjoys spacious living accommodation spread over two floors. There are many features including wonderful views, high ceilings, master bedroom with en-suite, large sitting room with marble fireplace, fitted kitchen with granite worktops and garage.

LOCATION: Horsington House is situated in the Parish of Horsington which is in a Conservation Area surrounded by unspoilt farmland and with predominantly period stone properties in the neighbourhood. Road and rail communications are excellent with direct access onto the A357 to the south and with the A303 (connecting London and the West Country) to the north. Less than a mile away is Templecombe with its doctors’ surgery, post office/shop and mainline train station to London Waterloo/Exeter. Wincanton is a short drive away and provides a comprehensive range of amenities as do the nearby historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the market town of Shaftesbury. Of note is the excellent choice of State and Private schools in the area including Sherborne Boys, Girls and Preparatory schools, Wells Cathedral School, Millfield, Hazelgrove and Bruton.
