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.
