An exceptionally well presented first floor flat situated close to the village centre. The property forms part of a small development of converted and purpose built flats set in well kept communal grounds with two allocated parking spaces.

The property is entered through a secure communal entrance to the side of the building with an intercom entry phone system. From the communal hallway stairs rise to the first floor with the front door giving access to the flat. The sitting/dining room is a particular feature with a large sash style bay window enjoying an outlook over the grounds. A door opens to a well fitted kitchen with dual aspect double glazed windows. A spacious double bedroom and bathroom complete the accommodation. There is the benefit of an exceptionally long lease (965 years) with a share of the freehold and boarded loft space with lighting. There is currently a tenant in situ who would be happy to stay providing an excellent buy-to-let opportunity.

LOCATION: Henstridge lies a short motoring distance to the east of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne. The village has a church, a post office/store, two public houses and a primary school to its centre and local services found nearby at Stalbridge where there is the renowned Dike's supermarket and a range of local shops. Both Sherborne and Yeovil lie within comfortable motoring distance providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Communication links are good with a main line station at Templecombe linking with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton which offers further amenities including doctors surgery, post office, library, schools, independent shops and two supermarkets. It is approximately six miles from the main-line railway stations at Gillingham and Templecombe with services to London, Waterloo and Exeter. A few miles to the north are Castle Cary and Bruton, which are on the London Paddington line and the much improved A303 which links with the M3 is literally minutes away and provides east-west road travel. Wincanton is a typical Somerset town close to many delightful villages and places of interest such as the Abbey town of Sherborne, the Cathedral City of Salisbury and the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury. The larger town of Yeovil is approximately 15 miles distance.
