With stone elevations under a tiled roof, the cottage has upVc double glazing, a timber double glazed front door and dormer window overlooking the stable yard. It has a separate road entrance to a parking area. See floor plan for accommodation layout.

Stable Yard
Purpose built as a small stud farm in 2010, the yard is a high quality construction stable complex arranged in a quadrangle around a concrete yard. The stables are concrete block elevations under a timber frame and fibre cement roof. The complex comprises 3 larger foaling boxes with dual doors, 8 stables with concrete feed troughs and automatic drinkers and 2 feed rooms.

Riding Arena
A 40m x 20m (131’ x 66’) sand and rubber surface outdoor arena enclosed within timber post and rail fencing.

The Land
A productive block of level pastureland surrounded by mature hedgerows and arranged in 6 enclosures divided by horse-proof fencing. The property conveniently lies on a strip of relatively free draining Cornbrash soil which is equally suited to livestock and horse grazing and mowing. In the centre of the land is a small conifer copse and the land enjoys impressive views. The property extends in total to 12.88 acres (5.21 hectares).

Wayside is located off a quiet country land in the wonderfully unspoilt rural Blackmore Vale. It lies on the edge of the popular village of Horsington, meaning the settlement of the horse keepers, which boasts a primary school, 15th century church, village hall and the popular Half Moon public house.
The property enjoys excellent communication links lying 3 miles from the A303 and A30 and 1 mile from the mainline railway at Templecombe. Wincanton town is 4 miles away offering supermarkets, a secondary school, a national hunt racecourse and a golf course and the abbey town of Sherborne is 7 miles distant offering boutique shops and cafes, the well-regarded Gryphon state secondary school and two castles
The area is renowned for its private schooling including the Sherborne Schools, Hazelgrove, Bruton Schools, Port Regis and Millfield.
