A substantial and conveniently located 4-bedroom detached family home, in the popular Somerset village of Sparkford. Private gardens, ample parking and detached double garage.

Southdown enjoys a private setting, tucked back from the village road behind a low stone wall and hedge. A shared driveway leads into a generous parking area, with a step up to the welcoming front door.
Inside, the entrance hall is finished with attractive limestone floor tiles and includes a cloakroom. To the left, the dual-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light and features French doors opening onto the rear garden. A striking Hamstone fireplace forms the focal point, complemented by characterful oak floorboards which continues seamlessly into the adjoining dining room. Enjoying views over the garden, the dining room provides an ideal link between the sitting room and kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of units, complete with granite-effect worktops and slate-effect flooring. Integral appliances include a double electric oven with hob above and a fridge-freezer. French doors provide direct access to the garden, creating a bright and airy space. To the rear, a pantry cupboard offers useful storage, while a side door opens into the utility room, fitted with additional units, a sink, and plumbing for a washing machine. From here, there is internal access to the garage as well as a door to the outside.
Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes. The master suite is a generous dual-aspect room with a dressing area lined with wardrobes, alongside a stylish en suite shower room with a large shower, basin, and w.c. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with travertine wall and floor tiles, a roll-top bath, separate shower, basin, and w.c. An airing cupboard completes the first floor.

Southdown is well located in the village of Sparkford that lies to the North of both the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. The village has a filling station/mini supermarket on the West side, a church, a village hall, a public house and a cricket club while both Sherborne and Yeovil provide between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with golf clubs at Wheathill, Sherborne and Yeovil while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schools. Communication links are good with main line stations at both Castle Cary and Sherborne linking directly with London Paddington and London Waterloo respectively while road links are along the A303 joined nearby giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

The driveway provides ample parking and turning space, in addition to the double garage which benefits from an electric up-and-over door and internal access to the house. To the rear, the established garden enjoys a good degree of privacy, predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. A large paved terrace, directly outside the sitting room, provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
