The Property

Yewtree Farmhouse is one of the principal properties in this village on the Somerset/Dorset border. Dating back to the early 1800s, with extensions added in the 1900s; it has original beams and fireplaces which have been modernised to fit with today's exacting standards for Regs and tenants. The property has undergone extensive renovation and is now completely updated and contemporary whilst still retaining its history and character. In addition to the main house there is a large two-storey stone barn available - with its own entrance and separated from the house - offering an additional office and a studio /gallery space...which has been used in the past to exhibit artworks and has be a design studio. The studio has an additional small kitchen and Wash Room. Local fast fibre broadband is available There is an enclosed courtyard and lawned garden to the rear - along with a garage. There are landscaped borders - mostly with giant white hydrangeas - and most of the enclosed area is laid to lawn. There is also a secondary front garden with box ornamental hedging. One enormous Yew Tree in the front garden is responsible for the name of the farmhouse! The property is available from Summer 2020 ... ideally for a long- term let.

The main house accommodation includes a large, contemporary, fully-fitted kitchen with an oil-fired Aga (multi-coloured...rare!) - as well as an additional large double-oven five ring range cooker. This is a large, well-laid-out and equipped kitchen for enthusiastic cooks as there is much storage and preparation areas with four separate (Carrara marbled) work space areas and four sinks. Ideal for catering with large stainless steel American fridge freezer, two dishwashers and a wine chiller.

There are three reception rooms - one with a large woodburning stove and one with a Jet Master. The TV room has contemporary built-in TV storage and display units. On the first floor are four double bedrooms with three bathrooms - two are en-suite. The Master bathroom has built-in wardrobes and plenty of clothes storage. The property benefits from newly-updated services and three contemporary bathrooms. The central heating and Aga are both oil-fired.

Situation

The property is situated in the charming historic village of Templecombe, on the borders of Dorset and Somerset - just 7 minutes from Wincanton and easy access to the A303 - a main artery motorway link for the the south west. It is less than a five minute walk to Templecombe Railway Station which offers the main-line (South West Trains) service direct to London Waterloo and Exeter. Renowned local schools - such as Port Regis, Sandroyd, Hazlegrove, Sherborne, Bryanston and St Marys Shaftesbury are 20-30 minutes drive away. It is a perfectly-placed family home for those seeking to relocate to the West country for schooling, commuting and possibly house hunting. Even better if you want to work from home - have an office at home - but not in the house.
