The property is situated close to the centre of this highly sought after Dorset village: Cerne Abbas has become immensely popular due to its many amenities which include a church, medieval abbey, tea room, village shop and three pubs. There is also a village primary school, doctors surgery and a bus service to the surrounding towns of Dorchester, Sherborne and Yeovil. The larger regional centres of Yeovil and Dorchester are approximately 15 miles and 8 miles North and South respectively, where a wider range of facilities will be found. The A37 is within a mile and provides good motoring links to the North and South. Mainline rail links to London can be found at Dorchester, Yeovil and Sherborne with airports at Exeter, Bournemouth and Bristol.
To the front of the property is a gated driveway providing parking for a number of vehicles. There is not presently a conventional front garden area, being laid as hardstanding and concrete slabs but offers the incoming purchaser the potential to develop this. Double gates to the side of property provide access to the rear garden. Abutting the rear of the property is a large paved patio, providing the ideal space for alfresco seating/ dining. The deceptively large rear garden currently houses a number of wooden sheds and fruit cages with breeze block walled boundaries to either side. The rear garden also enjoys views out over the surrounding rolling countryside.
