Lower Farm Cottage is an attractive detached property set within the centre of the village, yet positioned away from the main thoroughfare. Lower Farm Cottage is set within the conservation area and constructed with a beautiful stone under a slate tiled roof. The property dates back to the early 1700s with later extensions. The property has an abundance of character, as you would expect with a property of this age with careful consideration of the extensions to make them very in keeping.
The ground floor accommodation is well connected and comprises of a character cottage kitchen with an oil fired Aga, an additional electric oven, four ring induction hob and Belfast sink. There are base and wall units with a granite work surface over and a continuation of work surface and base units. At the end of the kitchen there is an area of space which is currently set up as a snug. The kitchen is laid with an eye-catching stone floor which continues into the dining room if you look closely, you will find some fossils! The dining room is a lovely light and airy space with great ceiling heights, Velux windows and French doors leading to the patio area. The lounge retains the original large inglenook fireplace and bread oven, equipped with a multi fuel burner to its centre which has recently been re-lined.
On the first floor you will find three good sized rooms with two of them benefitting from built in storage. The master bedroom is served by the en-suite shower room whilst the remainder of the rooms are served by the main bathroom.

Lower Farm Cottage lies within the conservation area of this popular and attractive village, which boasts an unusual number of amenities, including a church, a public house, a health centre, a vet, several shops, a post office and a train halt. Both the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil lie within short motoring distance, providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area, with many walks to be had from the village itself. There are golf clubs at Folke, Sherborne and Yeovil. The region is well known for both its independent and state schooling at all levels. The primary school in Yetminster is well respected, as is the comprehensive school in nearby Sherborne for which a school bus system operates. Communication links are good with the train halt at Yetminster on the Bristol to Weymouth line, and a main line station at Sherborne with direct services to London Waterloo. Road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton, giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.
The garden lies to the front and side of the property which is enclosed and private. There is a central patio area perfect for alfresco dining, with the remainder laid to lawn. There are beautiful flower and mature shrub boarders adding to the privacy.
Parking spaces are available at the side of the property. Back to listing
