Location: Yenston lies in the attractive rolling countryside to the east of the historic Dorset abbey town of Sherborne and to the south of the Somerset town of Wincanton. It is an attractive hamlet made up predominately of period properties while both Sherborne, Wincanton and the local regional centre of Yeovil lie within comfortable motoring distance providing an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the region is well known for both its private and publically-funded schooling. Communication links are good with the main line station at Templecombe linking directly with Sherborne and west to Exeter and Salisbury and east to London Waterloo, while road links are along the A357 which joins the A30 at Henstridge (1 mile) and the A303 at Wincanton.
