This wonderful home is situated set-back from the road in the centre of the sought-after village of Thornford in Dorset - only a very short drive to both Sherborne and Yeovil town. Thornford village is one of the closest villages to Sherborne town. It is incredibly sought-after and properties of this nature very rarely come to the open market. Thornford offers a superb public house, primary school rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, village store and post office, village hall, parish church and its own cricket club. All of these amenities are within walking distance of the property. In addition Thornford station is situated on the Weymouth to Bristol line which includes Bath and links to the Midlands and North.
