For sale by auction on Wednesday 27th September 2023 at 2pm at the Shrubbery Hotel, Illminster, TA19 9AR.

The property is surrounded by rolling countryside, offering a wealth of outdoor activities, and there are numerous footpaths and bridleways on the doorstep.

27 Benville Lane comes to the market for the first time in over 100 years, offering purchasers, subject to the necessary consents, the opportunity to acquire a characteristic 18th century farm cottage which requires modernisation. The cottage is Grade II listed and retains many original features offering scope for transformation into a superb family home.

The cottage is located 15 miles to the north west of the county  town of Dorchester and 10 miles south of Yeovil, providing convenient access to the A303. It is a short distance to a variety of local amenities in the neighbouring village of Evershot and the market town of Beaminster (5 miles to the south). The Jurassic coast and Bridport are only 20 minutes to the south west. 
 
A number of the rooms are dual aspect, including two of the three bedrooms and the sitting room, which has views over the large, wrap-around garden and across neighbouring farmland. 27 Benville Lane has partially rendered elevations of red brick and flint under a thatched roof with stone dressings and copings. 

This three bedroom detached cottage is arranged over two storeys: Front door leading to a small hallway with under stair storage and doors to the Sitting Room, being dual aspect with a fireplace and further door into the Snug and the Kitchen/Dining Room. A side door leads to a second Entrance Hall with doors to a Utility Room, containing a former bread oven with a flag stone floor, separate WC and the Kitchen/Dining Room with Rayburn Royal, views over the garden and neighbouring farmland. In the corner of the kitchen are the stairs leading to the first floor and the Landing with airing cupboard and doors to Bedroom 1 dual aspect with sloping ceilings and built in wardrobes, Bedroom 2 sloping ceilings and built in wardrobes, Bedroom 3 overlooking the gardens and adjacent farmland and a Family Bathroom.

The Cottage benefits from an extensive and well-stocked garden with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. It is a secluded and peaceful haven surrounded by rolling countryside. 

The plot extends to approx. 0.289ha (0.714 acres). The garden contains several useful outbuildings including a summer house, greenhouse, storerooms and timber sheds.  

The property is set back from the road with a single garage of concrete block and render construction under a fibre cement roof, currently used for storage and positioned at the end of the off road parking. The cottage is enclosed by beautifully planted boundaries providing privacy from the road.
