The overriding feeling of this well-designed house is one of space, light and indulgent proportions. Having been constructed predominantly from local Blue Lias stone in 2003, the layout is one that delivers seamlessly on the demands of modern day living. For instance, the kitchen is an enormously impressive space, with high vaulted ceilings and expansive wooden flooring, ensuring there is plenty of room for large family gatherings and entertaining. Equally the charming drawing room is well proportioned, with a beautiful stone fireplace providing the focal point for those cooler winter evenings. A smaller sitting room is a more intimate, casual space and an office with built in desk and shelving units is ideal for productivity or for those wishing to work from home.
Functionality is at the heart of this design and further demonstrated with the inclusion of a lift that rises from the capacious ground floor hallway to the first floor, where the four bedrooms are located. A utility room, two cloakrooms and plenty of storage are further testament to this well considered property.

The principal bedroom is wonderfully light with fabulous views out across the surrounding countryside and has the benefit of a dressing area, excellent storage and a lovely ensuite shower room. There is a further ensuite shower room to the second double bedroom and a family bathroom in addition. Two further bedrooms are, like the others, neutrally decorated with cream walls and carpets.

An enormously appealing element of this property is the significant detached office/annexe with its own cloakroom, scullery, and extensive loft space above, providing further versatility.

The house is approached via a recently laid driveway that provides parking for several cars. A pedestrian gate leads into the rear terraced garden, which is a wonderfully private and sheltered area, with raised beds, mature trees and a wide variety of shrubs providing year-round interest, making it the perfect spot from which to enjoy some alfresco dining. A centrally positioned pergola, adorned with various climbers, provides shape and form to the rear, much of which is laid to lawn.

The garden also includes a wonderful vegetable patch, with raised beds, fruit cages, two state-of-the-art greenhouses and various sheds. There is even a hot tub for those wishing to wind down after a long walk in the beautiful countryside, for which this area is so well renowned.

A second driveway provides further parking and access to both the rear of the house and the office/annex, further enhancing the versatility of this building. In addition, there is a double garage, block built with local local stone under a tiled roof with substantial storage above.

The countryside on the Dorset/Somerset border must be some of the most beautiful in the South West, gently undulating unspoilt farmland broken up by valleys and woodland where dairy farming predominates. Rimpton is a small village tucked away from main roads in an area of strict planning control, preserving its special character and consists mainly of period stone houses and cottages, some dating from mediaeval times when the village was in the hands of the Bishop of Winchester. It is well known for the beauty of its houses and its setting.

The ancient Abbey town of Sherborne has a good range of shops and boutiques and is well known for its beauty and high-quality schools. Many national retailers are represented in the larger commercial centre of Yeovil. Communications to this part of the world are excellent with the A303, a dual carriageway, most of the way to the M3 towards London. To the west, the M5 is joined at Taunton for access to Bristol, the Midlands and the north. There are mainline railway stations at Sherborne and Templecombe, both serving London Waterloo in a little over two hours. Alternatively, there is an inner-city service from Castle Cary to London Paddington.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    The beautiful town of Sherborne is centred around the Abbey, founded in 705 and renowned for its spectacular fan vaulting, and which sets the tone for the whole town which is widely known across Dorset, Somerset and the southwest for its beauty. Our office occupies a Tudor building adjacent to Sherborne Abbey in the heart of the town, and the large shop window is highly visible to both pedestrian and vehicular passing trade. It fits neatly into our regional network of Shaftesbury, Dorchester, Taunton and Exeter. Liaising with these offices, we sell all types of property throughout West Dorset, South Somerset and East Devon, including townhouses, cottages, village properties, rectories, manor houses and small farms. This area is particularly noted for its schools, beautiful coast and countryside and is much more accessible than many think, being a little over two hours from London by both road and rail. Our office personnel are carefully selected for their interpersonal skills to make the buying and selling process easier and less stressful. They all have great experience and have been with Jackson-Stops for many years, providing continuity, and know and love Sherborne and its surroundings intimately. With 44 offices throughout the country (8 in London) as well as a New Homes department in the South West and an International Office, Jackson-Stops are able to look after all of your residential property needs.
