Windyridge comes to the market for the first time in its history, having originally been built in the 1960s by the adjoining farm to accommodate a family member. The property is to be found in a rural position yet within a few minutes drive of the A37 and benefitting from quite stunning views over the Somerset/Dorset countryside.

The property is in need of some cosmetic updating and offers further potential for extension if needed (subject to any necessary consents) which would allow a buyer to create a quite wonderful home The property was first built as a bungalow and, at a later date, the roof space was converted to form two further bedrooms and a bathroom. It was designed to take full advantage of the glorious views, which can be enjoyed from both ground and first floors, as well as the added benefit of overlooking its own land.

Please note that there will be no onward chain involved with the sale of the property and therefore early completion could be provided if desired.

Windyridge is situated in a delightful rural position just to the west of the A37, shortly beyond the small hamlet of Closworth. There is good road access to Yeovil, Dorchester and Sherborne, with all three towns offering their own wide range of amenities and facilities. Crewkerne is also within reach and all four towns enjoy mainline rail access. The Jurassic Coast is to be found to the south, well known for its wide variety of beaches and seaside towns/villages.

Windyridge is approached from the road via a gated driveway that provides off road parking and leads to the detached garage that is adjacent to the property.

Directly behind is a substantial timber outbuilding with a pitched roof, concrete floor, light and power, together with a traditional single up and over door. It is considered that this building would suit a number of hobbies, or indeed for further conversion (subject to consents).

There are ample gardens to three sides, including an area to the rear with numerous fruit trees. To the front is a most pleasant raised patio that takes advantage of the delightful position.

The adjoining paddock extends to approximately 2.4 acres, enclosed within stock proof fencing and hedgerow. At the far end is the added benefit of a farm gate providing access directly to the road. The land is currently grazed by a local sheep farmer but vacant possession will be gained prior to completion.
