A wonderful opportunity to purchase a Grade II Listed house forming part of the original county police station. This interesting and characterful home is beautifully presented throughout and enjoys many characterful features. A stable door opens to a light and airy cottage style kitchen with a butler sink, good range of units and exposed painted stonework. The dining room is tastefully decorated and features an attractive fireplace with wood burning stove providing a warm and cosy atmosphere. The sitting room is of particular interest enjoying an open stone fireplace as its focal point and original window with fitted shutters. There is also the convenience of a downstairs WC/utility room. Moving upstairs there is a bathroom and two bedrooms with the master being of an exceptionally good size. Outside there is allocated parking for one car and to the rear of the parking area the owner has lovingly created a wonderful ‘sky garden’ with five terraces, with natural stone walls, pleasant seating areas, an abundance of flowering plants and a summer house enjoying far reaching views. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate this delightful home.

LOCATION: Wincanton is a small Somerset town lying just north of the A303 and offers a range of day to day facilities including doctors surgery, post office, library, schools, independent shops and two supermarkets. It is approximately six miles from the main-line railway stations at Gillingham and Templecombe with services to London, Waterloo and Exeter. A few miles to the north are Castle Cary and Bruton, which are on the London Paddington line and the much improved A303 which links with the M3 is literally minutes away and provides east-west road travel. Wincanton is a typical Somerset town close to many delightful villages and places of interest such as the Abbey town of Sherborne, the Cathedral City of Salisbury and the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury. The larger town of Yeovil is approximately 15 miles distance.
