Main Description
Crossfields is situated within the peaceful village of Nether Compton, which regularly ranks as one of the UK's most beautiful villages. The property is located within a quiet cul-de-sac and backs onto open countryside. Inside, the entrance hall includes an under-stairs storage cupboard and gives access to the sitting room and the kitchen. The large sitting/dining room consists of an open fire (not tested) and a west-facing facing window, overlooking the front garden and driveway. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and countryside beyond. A separate conservatory expands the living accommodation.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are well-proportioned, with bedroom one including a built-in wardrobe and cupboards. Bedroom two benefits from lovely views over the local countryside and bedroom three, a large single room, includes a fitted cupboard. The family bathroom includes a shower over the bath.

Outside, there are three useable spaces, the front garden is mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders. There is an area to the side that includes a small decked area and mature shrubs. The rear garden is laid to patio and is accessed via two separate gates, with an area between the two which can be used for storing bins, etc. The garage includes power and light and would make for an ideal extension, subject to approval.


Nether Compton is one of several highly popular villages including Trent and Over Compton which lie in undulating countryside, tucked away from main roads but conveniently located close to the ancient historic Abbey town of Sherborne. With an active community, the village has a green, church, hall, pub, cricket club and well-renowned Trencherman’s food club and delicatessen.

Dominated by its ancient Abbey and school, Sherborne is arguably the most attractive town in Dorset. Numerous musical and cultural events occur throughout the year and there is a superb range of traditional shops and boutiques. West Dorset is well known for its unspoilt landscape and there are many pretty villages and countryside walks nearby. The Jurassic Coast is a mere twenty miles away at Weymouth. This stretch of coastline, from Portland to Lyme Regis, with its spectacular cliffs, has been designated a World Heritage Site.

Communications have improved markedly in recent years with the upgrading of the A303 to dual carriageway almost the whole way to London. In addition, there are mainline stations at Sherborne on the Waterloo to Exeter line, or at Castle Cary on the Paddington to Penzance line. Thus, despite the rural nature of the area, London is a little over two hours by both road and rail.
