Description

This property is a unique opportunity to buy a pair of old railway workers' cottages, situated in the village of Holywell, near Yeovil, Dorchester, and the Jurassic coastline. The property, known as Fainhailt, comprises a main dwelling with four bedrooms, set within large gardens and a 2-acre field, along with a range of outbuildings. Although the property is in need of modernization and reconfiguring, it offers enormous potential for purchasers to put their own stamp on it. The property has a fascinating history, having been converted from railway workers' cottages, and is surrounded by stunning landscapes and public footpaths. The village of Holywell has a range of local amenities, including a village shop, bakery, church, primary school, and pub, while the larger towns of Yeovil, Sherborne, and Dorchester are within easy reach. The property is approached via a private road and has its own gated driveway, providing ample parking and turning. The large gardens and field offer plenty of space for outdoor activities and have a selection of fruit trees, including apple and pear. With its unique history, stunning surroundings, and potential for renovation, Fainhailt is a rare and exciting opportunity for those looking for a rural retreat with plenty of character.
