Description
A residential development site measuring 0.226 hectare/0.55 acres with outline planning permission for three detached dwellings.
Location - The hilltop town of Somerton dates back to the Anglo-Saxon era when it was the capital of Wessex and an important political and commercial centre. In the centre of the town is a wide market square with its octagonal roofed market cross, surrounded by charming period houses. This attractive small town has an excellent range of facilities, including a variety of services such as a small supermarket, dentist, chemist, library, butchers, newsagents, galleries, doctors' surgery and schools, with the larger commercial centre of Yeovil within an easy drive, as is the pretty Abbey town of Sherborne.
The A303 is just 5 miles to the south with good connections to London and the south east. The M5 is accessible at Taunton (within 25 miles). Mainline services to Paddington run from Castle Cary, with Waterloo access available from Sherborne, Yeovil and Templecombe.
