"Don't miss this period cottage with plenty of character and potential located in a super position in the centre of this sought after village.To the side there is a fabulous walled garden, just ripe for green-fingered buyers to bring back to life. There's ample parking for several vehicles and a detached timber double garage, as well as another stone built shed, and timber greenhouse.Internally the substantial accommodation offers great proportions throughout, belying the fact there is currently just 2 bedrooms, with all the rooms having great proportions. There is also an upstairs bathroom with separate shower, whilst downstairs is a lovely size living room with hamstone fireplace, large kitchen / dining room, and useful studio / scullery to the rear with a walk in larder. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor.Plenty of character with it's mullion windows and original doors, but also with scope for you to modernise as you would like. Early viewing is strongly recommended. No chain.

LOCATION
Halstock is a quiet but thriving village with an excellent community spirit and has won the "Calor Gas" Best Community Award for the small village category in the UK. There is plenty going on for a village of its size, and for all ages too. The village hall has various activities taking place such as sports and a gardening club. Other village facilities include a community run post office and store, community room and village bakery. There is also a parish church, Sutton Bingham reservoir provides fishing and sailing facilities and lies just north of Halstock. It also has a bird sanctuary. The village is well placed away from main roads but only c.5 miles south of Yeovil and just west of the A37 providing easy access to Dorchester and the south coast. This historic and picturesque Abbey town of Sherborne lies within c.11/12 miles. There are bus services to Yeovil. The mainline railway (Exeter to Waterloo) is accessed at Yeovil Junction station at the village of Stoford, just south of Yeovil. Halstock itself lies just over the Somerset border within the typically rolling countryside of Dorset but is one of the few villages who despite their geographical location actually come under a Somerset postal address. It does however come under the jurisdiction of West Dorset District Council.
