Dowlish Wake is tucked away from main roads in a hidden and beautiful part of South Somerset. The village is in a conservation area, surrounded by open countryside, nestling at the foot of Windwhistle Hill. It offers excellent walks and public footpaths together with a farm shop at Perry’s Cider Mill, a sports pavilion, village hall, parish church and public house (the New Inn). Numerous activities take place in the village throughout the year. The nearest town is Ilminster (2 miles), centred on its fine Minster and market place with both independent and traditional shops, a supermarket, amateur dramatics and many other clubs and societies. Other main towns in the area include Crewkerne (5 miles) with its antique shops and auction house, Chard (5 miles), and the larger centres of Yeovil and county town Taunton, both 14 miles away. Travel links are excellent—the A303 is a dual carriageway to the M3 and M25, providing fast access to London and the east. Exeter is under an hour away to the west and junction 25 of the M5 is about 10 miles north of Ilminster.

The property is approached by an area of off-road parking with a five-bar gate leading to a gravelled front garden complemented by an abundance of colourful potted plants. The west-facing gardens can be found to the rear and back onto the playing fields with open countryside and farmland beyond. Laid to a combination of lawn, gravel and further potted plants, it’s an idyllic and enchanting setting for alfresco dining, entertaining and sitting out in the warmer weather.
