Description
The Dwelling - This charming two-bedroom period cottage offers an appealing combination of historic character and contemporary comfort. The property has been comprehensively renovated during 2025, creating a turn-key home whilst retaining many of the features that give the property its individual charm.
Accommodation - The ground floor is centred around a particularly attractive sitting/dining room, featuring an original flagstone floor, a Dorset oak beam above an original fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove. The fireback behind the stove is dated 1662 and is believed to have originated from Sherborne Castle, providing a fascinating connection with the town's history.
The kitchen has been refitted with a contemporary Howdens kitchen, complemented by high-quality AEG and Bosch appliances and discreet Snug electric underfloor heating. A new, efficient gas combi boiler is also located within the kitchen. The ground floor further benefits from excellent storage, including a useful understairs cupboard.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the front bedroom retaining a Victorian feature fireplace. The second bedroom benefits from a large airing cupboard, while the landing provides access to the loft via a pull-down ladder. The loft is lit and boarded, offering useful additional storage
The newly installed bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes a dual-fuel towel radiator.
Garden - To the rear is a generous approximately 55-foot south-westerly facing garden, providing a wonderfully private and peaceful setting in which to relax and entertain. A newly constructed 2m x 3m summerhouse, installed in 2025, provides an excellent additional space for working, hobbies or simply enjoying the garden.
The garden includes two productive apple trees and newly planted hedging, with pedestrian rear access directly to the footpath alongside Sherborne Preparatory School. This provides particularly convenient access to the surrounding area.
There is on-street parking directly opposite the property.
Situation - This property is situated just a short distance from Sherborne’s highly regarded High Street, with its vibrant mix of boutique shops, artisan bakeries, cafés, restaurants, gastropubs and popular farmers’ market. The historic Sherborne Abbey, Almshouses and renowned schools are all within close proximity, with excellent educational opportunities available locally, including Sherborne’s well-regarded independent schools and respected state schools. The mainline railway station is also nearby, offering a direct service to London Waterloo in just over two hours, making this an exceptionally convenient and desirable location.
