This well-equipped horsey home features a 60x20m arena, stables and just over six acres to play with. At just shy of £1m, I’d say you get a fair bit of bang for your buck at this Dorset property.
Rylands lies just north of the Dorset National Landscape – so you know the hacking’s going to be mega – and is hardly two minutes by car from Yetminster village centre. There’s a wealth of amenities here, such as shops, a café, a pub, a health centre and more. There’s a village station with destinations such as Castle Cary (21 minutes), Weymouth (40 minutes) and Bath Spa (1hr 22 minutes).
The property is one road away from the A37 for Dorchester (26 minutes) and Yeovil (14 minutes).
Local equestrian centres include Chard (35 minutes), Kingston Maurward (32 minutes) and Kings Sedgemoor (48 minutes).
If you like racing, head to Wincanton (35 minutes) or Taunton (one hour). For a day watching some pointing, go to Milborne St Andrew (40 minutes).
For a day’s hunting, join the South Dorset.
Rylands is marketed by Symonds & Sampson for a guide price of £975,000. Let’s take a look around…
