The 19 ft. triple aspect sitting room with its feature fireplace leads through a glazed corridor to an adaptable home office space and a double aspect store/workshop alongside with access to the attached garage. The kitchen/breakfast room also benefits from garden aspects, with a range of cabinetry and appliances arranged in a U-shape and a useful larder, store cupboard and cloakroom.

The first floor houses a family bathroom with separate cloakroom and three well proportioned and bright bedrooms with a range of fitted wardrobes and far-reaching views.

The property is situated within scenic Higher Totnell, surrounded by picturesque Dorset countryside and sitting less than a mile from the village of Leigh with its village hall, café and church.

Communications in the area include regular train services from Sherborne to London Waterloo (about 2¼ hours) and Castle Cary to Paddington (about 1½ hours). The A303 provides a major link road to the west and east towards London. Airports at Bristol, Bournemouth and Exeter provide a comprehensive range of international and domestic flights.

The brick-built home is adorned with various attractive climbing plants and sits within a sizeable private plot boasting impressive and vibrant landscaped gardens with far reaching views of rolling hills beyond. There are large expanses of neat level lawn interspersed with a myriad of colourful varied planting and borders, with many mature trees providing dappled shade. Further is an orchard with ancient apple and plum trees in a meadow, a Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI), rich in wild flowers and with meandering mowed pathways. There is a stone-laid south-facing terrace beside the home and a large gravelled driveway giving access to the attached brick-built garage.
