Marsh Farm, Yeovil
West Coker, Yeovil

People are drawn to the market town image of Yeovil with its excellent public transport links to London by train and by road, and the central link point to the South west in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. As well as having two small but splendid theatres, the Octagon and the Swan where plays, musicals and live entertainment are performed monthly, there are good state schools, a great football team and is within easy reach of the Dorset coast. The town is distinguished by modern as well as Victorian semi-detached and terraced houses, with modern flat conversions in the more central areas standing in unison with new more affordable retirement blocks. Student life, bistros, restaurants and nightclubs are flourishing and growing and so the country character of Yeovil that once was, is fast becoming more urbanised in atmosphere and mood.
