**Location**
Kingsdon is a small historic village nestled in the undulating hills of South Somerset, with far reaching views to the east and south. The village lies half-way between the Roman settlement of Ilchester and the market town of Somerton and retains it old-world charm. There is no through traffic and a wealth of historic cottages and elegant houses of individual character line the quiet streets. Many of the old (and some of the new) houses have been built using blue lias stone quarried from within the village. Kingsdon offers an array of amenities including a community run shop, located in the former school dwelling, 13th Century church, family run thatched pub Kingsdon Inn, village hall and allotments, children's playground and plenty of public footpaths enjoyed by keen hikers and dog owners. The village is home to a varity of clubs and sociaties and holds an annual summer festival for villagers and locals to enjoy on the green. Kingsdon is neighbour to National Trust owned 'Lytes Cary Manor' and well positioned for travel, being close to the A303 and M5 with a well linked bus service and mainline railway stations are located in Castle Cary, Yeovil and Taunton with direct links to Waterloo and Paddington.

**Identity Verification**
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
