Description

This detached, chalet-style residence offers ample space and a promising canvas for renovation, situated within a serene cul-de-sac. The property is close to the village center of Yetminster, providing easy access to local amenities, and is just a short drive from Sherborne town and its mainline railway station with routes to London Waterloo. Set on a generous level plot, the home features well-maintained front and rear gardens, with the latter enjoying an easterly aspect that benefits from morning sunlight. A private driveway accommodates parking for two vehicles and leads to an integral garage that can double as a workshop. The residence includes uPVC double glazing throughout and is heated by electric radiators. The interior layout offers flexibility, characterized by large windows that fill the spaces with natural light. Upon entering, you are welcomed by an entrance hall leading into an open-plan sitting and dining area that spans an impressive length, featuring views of both the cul-de-sac in front and the garden at the rear. The kitchen is functional but could be modernized to enhance its utility further, while a ground floor WC adds convenience. Upstairs are three spacious double bedrooms, each with ample storage options. A family bathroom completes this floor. Although the property requires general modernization throughout, it possesses significant potential for enhancement or extension, subject to obtaining appropriate planning permissions. Beyond its walls, Yetminster boasts picturesque scenery ideal for outdoor activities right at your doorstep, making it an ideal location for families or pet owners. The village itself is known for its charming character and community spirit. It offers essential services including a local shop, historic pub, GP surgery, hairdressers, coffee shops, and a sports club with recreational facilities. Commuters will appreciate the nearby railway station connecting to both coastal locales like Weymouth and major cities like Bristol Templemeads and Gloucester. Furthermore, Sherborne’s vibrant town center features boutique shopping options alongside cafes and restaurants while being recognized for its excellent schooling options. In summary, this property stands out not only due to its spaciousness but also because of its renovation potential within a highly sought-after location that combines rural charm with convenient access to urban amenities.
