Description

This charming Georgian-style link-detached house presents a unique investment opportunity in a prime residential area just a stone's throw from the picturesque town centre of Sherborne and the mainline service to London Waterloo. With its appealing double-fronted design, the property features spacious front and rear gardens that promise privacy and potential for expansion. The driveway accommodates two vehicles, with options for additional parking pending planning approval. Inside, the layout is functional but ripe for reconfiguration. The entrance hall leads to a bright sitting room with an open fireplace, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area benefit from natural light on three sides. The ground floor also includes a cloakroom and an undercover side area. The first floor features three double bedrooms; the expansive master bedroom has dual aspects which could be converted into two separate rooms or adapted to include an en-suite bathroom. An office/studio attached to the garage provides an ideal workspace, enhancing functionality for modern living. With heating via gas central heating and uPVC double glazing already in place, this property requires renovation mainly focused on aesthetic updates, structural expansions, or layout reconfigurations to realize its full potential as a family home or rental investment. Furthermore, being located close to scenic countryside walks and the vibrant amenities of Sherborne allows for both serene living and urban accessibility.
