With a very attractive facade and origins stretching back to the 19th century, this justifiably Grade II listed Georgian property has been the subject of a recent and significant programme of works. Completely reconfigured back to something far more akin to its original form, the exquisite interiors perfectly compliment the dressed hamstone elevations that sit under a renovated Welsh slate roof. With a southerly orientation, the house is notable for not only its great light but a wonderful sense of space, proportions and original features, all of which have been thoughtfully considered in the stylish refurbishment programme. Stained glass, sash windows with enchanting seats, ornate stone work and detailed joinery in various reception rooms are perfectly complimented by a beautiful, sweeping stone staircase and well-appointed bedrooms, bathrooms and impressively spacious kitchen, ideal for large gatherings. There are a possible eight bedrooms with four beautifully appointed bathrooms set over the first and second floors, many of which enjoy delightful views across the lawns and countryside beyond. The versatile layout lends itself perfectly for a teenage hangout or guest accommodation to the rear of the property. The cellar provides some useful general storage along with a separate wine store.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a sweeping shared driveway that opens out into a gravelled parking area for several cars. Much of the garden is laid to lawn ensuring it is relatively low maintenance. Paddocks bounded by estate fencing, stone walls and a ha-ha provide some space on the land for the keeping of livestock, if so desired. Various trees include Giant Sequoia, Scots Pine, Cedar, English Oak, Spruce, Yew, Apple, Flowering Cherry and Walnut, to name a few. There are an extensive variety of plants and shrubs such as Sweetbriar Roses, Rhododendrons, Bay laurels, Japanese Thimble Flower, Common snowberry, Spanish dagger/Yukka, Agapanthus, Hydrangea, Wisteria, Rosemary, Lavender and so much more. There are a number of stone outbuildings along with a series of five garages located to the left of the driveway.
All things considered this is a simply beautiful period property presented in fantastic style and surrounded by wonderful yet manageable grounds that extend to c. 3.75 acres.

LOCATION
The countryside surrounding West Coker must be among the most beautiful in the Southwest of England, much of it designated a Special Landscape Area, in which a policy of strict planning control operates to preserve its rural character. The countryside is rolling and lightly timbered, where dairy farming predominates.

West Coker is a thriving village with many amenities and is served by two buses. Residents benefit from well supported and local facilities including two public houses with restaurants, a garage with general store, a petrol station, doctors’ surgery with dispensary, shop/post office, butchers, primary school, church, along with an exclusive boutique hotel with spa and restaurant. The new Pavilion is home to a thriving youth club, scouts and the adult and junior cricket club. The Village Hall hosts many events, clubs and classes and the Art Centre also hosts occasional classes. The Southwest Bicycle Works offers a pick up and drop off service for bike repairs/servicing. This really is the perfect village location for family life with all the facilities you could ask for and more, all within walking distance. Yeovil is 3 miles away offering an excellent range of shopping, nightlife and leisure facilities.

Communications to the area are excellent. The A303, A37 and A30 are all within a short distance, and mainline station at Yeovil Junction is about 2 miles away (London to Waterloo about 2hrs 20 mins) and Yeovil Pen Mill on the Weymouth to Bristol/Cardiff line.

SPORTING AND RECREATION
Racing at Taunton, Exeter and Wincanton. Water sports at Sutton Bingham Reservoir and on the nearby Jurassic Coast. Numerous golf courses all within easy reach. There are many National Trust properties within easy reach. The nearest, Montacute House, has a branch of the National Portrait Gallery. There are two National Nature Reserves within a mile, with hundreds of wild orchids. The village itself has a bicycle workshop with group rides, cricket, tennis and a children’s adventure park.

EDUCATION
The Primary School in West Coker is highly regarded but there are a number of excellent schools for children of all ages within easy motoring distance. Most notable are those at Sherborne (boys and girls), Leweston, Hazlegrove and Perrott Hill at North Perrott.

There is a right of way in place for neighbouring properties across the driveway.

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.
