SITUATION Court Lodge is situated within this sought after Dorset village, which lies close to the Somerset border and Yeovil Golf Club. The village has a wonderful community and boasts a well-respected primary school, public house and church. For day-to-day needs both Yeovil and Sherborne are within 3 and 4 miles respectively, where an excellent range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities can be found together with a mainline rail link to Exeter and London Waterloo.
DESCRIPTION Court Lodge is an individually designed four-bedroom detached bungalow, constructed principally of reconstituted stone beneath a tiled roof.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows and doors throughout. The well-proportioned accommodation is thoughtfully arranged around a spacious hallway and includes a cloakroom, two reception rooms, and a generously sized kitchen with an adjoining utility room. There are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, in addition to a family bathroom.
Externally, the bungalow is approached via a private driveway, providing ample parking and access to the double garage. The rear garden is fully enclosed, offering a high degree of privacy with the railway line beyond and a pleasant view of the church in the distance.
ACCOMMODATION A covered entrance porch with courtesy light leads to an obscure glazed door opening into the entrance hallway, which features a mat well, coats cupboard with hanging rail and shelf, and hatch access to the roof void. The airing cupboard benefits from an automatic light and houses a factory-lagged hot water cylinder with immersion heater and slatted shelving. The cloakroom comprises a low-level WC, corner wash hand basin, and a window to the front. The sitting room is light and airy, centred around a stone fireplace with wooden mantle and inset living flame gas fire (bottle gas), complemented by a built-in TV display shelf and additional shelving. A window overlooks the garden, and a doorway leads through to the dining room, where patio doors open directly onto the rear garden.
The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a 1¼ bowl single drainer sink and adjoining work surfaces, along with a range of floor and wall-mounted cupboards and drawers. Integrated appliances include a Zanussi electric hob with extractor, double oven and grill, and dishwasher. A breakfast bar, front-facing window, and serving hatch complete the space. An adjoining utility room provides a stainless steel single drainer sink with mixer tap, further floor and wall-mounted storage, and space and plumbing for a washing machine. It also houses the Grant oil-fired boiler, has a window to the rear, and a door giving access to the double garage.
