Newland, Sherborne

This remarkable late 18th-century Grade II listed natural stone cottage, along with an attached one-bedroom cottage, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable town of Sherborne. Spanning approximately 2897 square feet, the property features five spacious double bedrooms and boasts a generous plot of around 0.20 acres, complete with a secluded walled rear garden and a summer house. The property retains charming original features such as multiple natural stone fireplaces, flagstone floors, and exposed beams, all contributing to its character while providing a canvas for modern updates. Located just a short stroll from the town centre, which offers essential amenities like cafés, restaurants, and access to the mainline railway station connecting to London Waterloo in just over two hours, this property is ideally situated for both residential living and rental potential. The additional attached cottage offers further flexibility; it could serve as an independent living space or generate income through holiday lets or long-term rentals. The accommodation is well-arranged with substantial common areas including a large drawing room, dining room, and an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room that leads out to the patio area. There is also significant scope for extension or improvement at the rear of the main house (subject to planning permission), making it possible to enhance both living spaces and outdoor arrangements further. Overall, this rare property not only allows for comfortable living but also offers extensive expansion possibilities in one of South West England's most sought-after locations.
