Situation

This lovely character home, being a former farmhouse nestles in a very quiet no-through lane in the heart of this sought-after village.

Hardington Mandeville is a popular village on the Somerset/Dorset border - many people who move there stay for many years, such is its attractiveness and sense of community. The village has a shop/post office and a public house, a number of thriving clubs such as gardening and amateur dramatics, making it an active village for people of all ages.

Surrounded by magnificent rolling countryside, this is a beautiful part of the country and yet it remains extremely accessible due to the A30, A303 and good rail links from Yeovil Junction, on the Exeter to Waterloo line. In addition, the M5 is within easy reach at Taunton and the village therefore enjoys the best of both worlds, being secluded yet accessible. The regional centre of Yeovil is within easy reach and has a full range of facilities whilst alternatives include Crewkerne, a typical Somerset market town and Sherborne, dominated by its Abbey and historic school. Yeovil 5 miles; Sherborne 10 miles; A303 7 miles; Crewkerne 4 miles (London Waterloo).
