A charming three double bedroom attached character cottage with much loved and generous gardens, offered with no onward chain. Parking and plot amounting to 0.25 or thereabouts.

Farm Close Cottage is believed to have been built in the early 1900's and has character stone elevations with brick detailing, all under a tiled roof. Situated within the prime rural village of Poyntington with a lovely community and beautiful walks/cycle rides to surrounding villages and the historic Abbey Town of Sherborne. As you would expect the cottage has much charm and character with the benefit of modern features to include double glazed windows and thermostatically controlled electric heating. Internally the accommodation benefits from excellent ceiling heights and proportions. The solid French oak flooring in the sitting room sets the tone for the quality of finish throughout the property, complimenting the existing charm that is in abundance here. Perfect for dining, relaxing and entertaining, the centre point of this room is the beautiful wood burner with stone surround, perfect for those cooler evenings. The room is beautiful dual aspect with French doors leading out into the garden.

The bedrooms are complimented by a tastefully refurbished bathroom finished with contemporary tiling around both a bath and separate shower.
The heating system, water tank, consumer units, roof and windows have been upgraded in recent years. Lead work and re-pointing have also been made good.

The property lies close to the centre of the popular village of Poyntington which is conveniently placed just a few miles to the north of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne surrounded by some glorious rolling countryside. The village is a particularly attractive one from which there are numerous walks in all directions over the local countryside while at the same time being within short motoring distance of both Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the region is well known for its schools which include the Sherborne Schools, the Bruton Schools, Millfield and St Antony's Leweston. Transport links are good with a main line station at Sherborne linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton.

The garden is a key salient feature of the property, amounting to approximately 0.25 acre. The garden that lies to the rear of the property is made up of well stocked borders, mature shrubs and specimen trees along with a well-tended vegetable patch, green house and summer house. A terraced area just off the kitchen makes for a wonderful place from which to take in the quiet privacy of this space and to entertain. The scope for the garden is endless with ample amounts of space for outdoor studios, large extension, timer framed garden room and or a larger kitchen STPP.
As well as unrestricted parking to the front of the house, parking is also available at the end of the garden, accessed via a private lane. If desired, a garage could be constructed STPP.
