Yenston, Templecombe, BA8

NO FURTHER CHAIN. ‘Fir Tree Cottage’ is a beautifully presented, deceptively spacious (1914 square feet), detached cottage situated in a fabulous semi-rural address on the edge of this popular Somerset village. The property stands in a generous, level plot extending to just under a quarter of an acre (0.20 acres approximately) with a large side garden and rear garden enjoying a sunny westerly aspect. There is ample driveway parking for five cars or more leading to a huge, detached, triple garage. The property is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet retains some lovely, exposed beams and internal natural stone / brick elevations. It is heated by new electric panel heaters and benefits from double glazing. The unique home offers tremendous scope for significant extension as well as conversion of the detached garage to an annex, work-from-home space or holiday let, subject to the necessary planning permission. The well laid out accommodation benefits from flexible accommodation and a sunny east-to -west aspect. It comprises entrance reception dining hall, sitting room, open-plan kitchen / breakfast room and luxury ground floor bathroom / WC. On the first floor, there is a landing area and four generous double bedrooms. There are countryside and pretty country lane walks from nearby the front door. It is a short drive to the nearby towns of Templecombe and Sherborne. Sherborne boasts a superb boutique high street with coffee shops, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne’s world famous private schools. It is also a short drive to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours. Sherborne has recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West by The Times 2024. It also boasts ‘The Sherborne’ – a top class, recently opened arts and conference centre plus superb restaurant.
