The village is regarded as one of the areas with a good community and offering a range of local amenities which include a village hall, church, convenience store, public house along with a primary school. The nearby town of Wiveliscombe is also easily accessible providing its good range of facilities along with Kingsmead Comprehensive School. Wellington is about 3 miles away and provides excellent shopping with a Waitrose. The County Town of Taunton is about 7 miles and renowned for its extensive range of shopping, educational, sporting and cultural facilities along with access to the M5 motorway at junction 25 Blackbrook. The town also provides a main line city rail link, London Paddington being about 2 hours.

The property is approached from the road through a wooden gate. The front drive is shared with the neighbours and there is a single garage. Garden cottage itself is set in the middle of the plot so the gardens are at the front and to both sides. The front garden is mostly laid to lawn with well-established borders and trees. There is also a greenhouse and an area which has previously been used as a vegetable garden. At the far end of the plot are two outbuildings. Back to listing
