GARDENS AND OUTBUILDINGS
The gardens at Yew Tree House are a delight and a real feature of this property. A substantial, sheltered and south facing terrace is easily accessed from the house and provides the perfect spot from which to enjoy those warmer summer evenings perhaps with a bbq and drink in hand. A gravelled pathway leads through well stocked flower beds with roses, lavender, geraniums and foxgloves, to a parking area for several cars in front of a double garage with electric doors and EV charger. A large lawned area is bounded by clipped beech hedges, shrubs, stone walls and post and rail fencing. An arch through the hedge leads to a tranquil arboretum that includes a variety of mature specimen trees. Two sheds provide some further useful storage. With the sound of the stream passing through, this is an enchanting and very private garden that provides the perfect backdrop to what is a very special house.
LOCATION
It is easy to understand why Corton Denham is one of the most popular of the many pretty villages around Sherborne. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, much of which has been in the careful stewardship of large estates for many centuries, the village is nevertheless superbly positioned approximately midway between the A303 and the delightful Abbey town of Sherborne. The centre of the village is designated a Conservation Area, and thus stringent planning controls are in place to preserve its special character and prevent incongruous development. Corton Denham has an extremely good public house, The Queens Arms and an active Church. The full range of facilities are available in Sherborne or the larger commercial centre of Yeovil.
Communications have improved markedly in recent years with the upgrading of the A303 to dual carriageway almost the whole way to London. In addition, there are mainline stations at Sherborne on the Waterloo to Exeter line, or at Castle Cary on the Paddington to Penzance line. Thus, despite the rural nature of the area, London is a little over two hours away by both road and rail.
SPORTING AND RECREATION
Racing at Wincanton. Golf at Sherborne and Yeovil. Sherborne Abbey holds regular concerts and recitals. The Newt Country Estate and Hotel is nearby. Hauser and Wirth in Bruton and The Sherborne in Sherborne for the arts. Theatres at Salisbury, Yeovil and Bath (within an hour). Numerous footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes make the area ideal for walking, bicycling and riding.
EDUCATION
The area is particularly noted for the high quality of its schools. Sherborne Prep, Hazlegrove and Port Regis are all within reach, as are Sherborne Boys’ and Girls’ schools, Leweston, Millfield and the Bruton schools.
