Poppy Cottage 5 The Green Stoford, BA22

WALKING DISTANCE TO THE MAINLINE RAILWAY STATION TO LONDON WATERLOO AND EXETER! Poppy Cottage is a substantial, period, natural stone, terraced cottage dating back to approximately 1769, situated in a picturesque village centre position opposite the village green and a short walk from the village pub. The cottage backs on to fields and countryside, enjoying lovely south-facing views at the rear. There is a substantial, pretty front garden giving a good depth from the country lane plus a private driveway offering off road parking for one to two cars. The cottage is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet boasts a wealth of period character features including exposed beams, Inglenook fireplace, original cast iron stove and window seats. It benefits from uPVC double glazing and modern electric radiators. At the rear of the property is a private garden enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and views across fields. The surprisingly spacious accommodation comprises entrance porch / boot room, large sitting room / dining room, kitchen and utility room. On the first floor is a landing area, a double bedroom with views across the village green at the front and a family bathroom. On the second floor there is another substantial double bedroom with walk-in storage cupboard and sunny, south-facing countryside views. This property offers plenty of scope for further reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permission. There are lovely countryside walks a short walk from the front door of this house. The village centre and pub is a short walk away. Stoford lies approximately 2 miles south of Yeovil. The village is centred on a village green with the pub located opposite. The adjoining village of Barwick which lies within the same parish has a primary school, church and recreational ground. Both Sherborne and Yeovil lie within comfortable motoring distance providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities.
