Description

This spacious detached family home, known as 'York Cottage', presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors. Nestled on nearly half an acre in the picturesque village of Bradford Abbas, near Sherborne, this property boasts expansive views and ample outdoor space. The substantial accommodation spans approximately 3,620 square feet and features reception rooms that are bathed in natural light due to their south-facing orientation. The large sitting room is enhanced by two fireplaces and offers direct access to a terrace, while additional reception areas and flexible smaller rooms can cater to various lifestyle needs, whether it be for extra bedrooms or a study. The kitchen provides a solid foundation with painted units and essential appliances in place, though it may benefit from modernisation. There is also a considerable sunroom equipped with a wood burner that connects seamlessly to the outdoor space. Upstairs houses a luxurious master bedroom complete with a substantial bathroom suite featuring high-quality finishes such as limestone flooring and a walk-in shower area. The additional bedrooms are generously sized and comfortable; some share a well-fitted shower room that showcases potential for upgrades. This property requires some finishing touches throughout, presenting an ideal canvas for those looking to infuse personal style or improve functionality. The surrounding area enhances its appeal with local amenities close by including schools, pubs, and scenic countryside walks accessible without the need for driving. An investment here could yield significant returns given the property's prime location.
