Church Close lies to the centre of the charming village of Chetnole which itself lies mid way between the county town of Dorchester to the south and the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil to the north. The walks to be had from the village itself are outstanding while the village has a public house and a church to its centre with a number of good local shops to be found in the neighbouring village of Yetminster that also has a health centre. Sporting walking and riding opportunities abound within the area and Sherborne, Yeovil and Dorchester between them provide an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities, The region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling while communication links are good with a train halt at Chetnole on the Weymouth to Bristol line, a main line station at Sherborne linking directly with London Waterloo and road links along the A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.
The total plot and landscaped gardens are a key feature of the property, amounting to 0.4 acre or thereabouts. To the front of the property is a tarmac and block paved driveway giving access to the double garage, with remote operate door. There is a generous frontage to the property, with lawn, mature borders and specimen trees. The rear of the property is a delight, the village Church and playing field offering a wonderful backdrop. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with sections of floral and shrub boarders, alongside specimen and ornamental trees. A meandering pathway leads down the garden, passing the ornamental. On the furthest boundary is a generous terrace, with Loggia and detached office/summer house, an ideal and peaceful place to work, rest or play in the summer months.
