An outstanding detached period cottage situated in the hamlet of Yenston. This individual and very charming property is brimming with character blending modern day living with period features. The cottage is beautifully presented throughout and enjoys spacious living accommodation including a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining room with shaker style units, sitting room with wood burning stove and exposed timbers, downstairs cloakroom, three generous bedrooms and stylish bathroom suite. The current owner has created a stunning green oak garden room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and bi-folding doors giving access to a pleasant seating area.

LOCATION: Yenston lies in the attractive rolling countryside to the east of the historic Dorset abbey town of Sherborne and to the south of the Somerset town of Wincanton. It is an attractive hamlet made up predominately of period properties while both Sherborne, Wincanton and the local regional centre of Yeovil lie within comfortable motoring distance providing an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the region is well known for both its private and publically-funded schooling. Communication links are good with the main line station at Templecombe linking directly with Sherborne and west to Exeter and Salisbury and east to London Waterloo, while road links are along the A357 which joins the A30 at Henstridge (1 mile) and the A303 at Wincanton.
