A delightful period cottage bursting with character situated within walking distance of a mainline train station and Co-op convenience store. This lovely property is full of charm, featuring a stunning living room with an inglenook fireplace providing a warm and cosy atmosphere. An opening leads through to the dining room with an attractive fireplace and exposed floorboards. The country style galley kitchen has a good range of units, solid wood work surface and butler sink. There is also a useful utility room and deep storage cupboard. Moving upstairs there is a spacious bathroom and two bedrooms with the master having fitted wardrobes. The garden is a particular feature being over 200’ in length with an abundance of biodiverse interest together with a timber eco cabin with many possible uses as a home office/studio etc. The heating system has been upgraded with the environment in mind to an air source heat pump supplying the hot water and radiators. We highly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate this delightful cottage and gardens.

LOCATION: Templecombe is situated in the beautiful Somerset countryside and is well placed for the many amenities on offer, including a mainline railway station (London Waterloo 2hrs), post office, welcoming community café and Co-op convenience store. There is the village Church, primary school and doctor's surgery with dispensary, and the village hall offers space for community clubs (bowls, youth, mums & toddlers), while the recreation ground has a tennis court and skate park. A big attraction of Templecombe is its accessibility, being situated close to both the A303 and the A30 with fast routes east and west towards the motorway network. The mainline station is an obvious draw, while local comprehensive shopping, cultural and leisure amenities are found close by in the towns of Sherborne, Wincanton, Shaftesbury and Yeovil. To the south, the World Heritage Jurassic coast is within easy striking distance. The area is renowned for its schools, both independent and state and the surrounding countryside, much of which is an area of outstanding natural beauty, is a playground for sporting and leisure pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling, golf and field sports. There are village cricket clubs close by and sailing and other water sports are readily accessible on the south coast.
