Description

This end-of-terrace period home offers significant renovation potential, making it an excellent investment opportunity in the heart of Sherborne. Located conveniently near Cheap Street and local amenities, including supermarkets and transport links, this characterful residence is constructed from local stone and features a traditional tiled roof. The property is currently in need of updates but comes with gas central heating and solar water heating (though not tested), providing a strong foundation for modernisation. Upon entering, you'll find a spacious reception hall directing you to a generous sitting/dining room adorned with an attractive fireplace. A versatile ground-floor bedroom or additional reception space benefits from south-facing arched windows that enhance its charm and light. The rear hosts a fitted kitchen alongside a ground-floor shower room, while a spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine first floor where a sizable bedroom with exposed beams awaits, complete with en suite facilities. Externally, the appealing front garden mainly consists of gravel with raised borders, while the rear offers a small west-facing patio garden that provides low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment. As one of three period homes on Westbury located within Sherborne's Conservation Area, this property has easy access to independent shops, cafés, and restaurants as well as regular rail services to London. This location presents fantastic accessibility to surrounding towns such as Yeovil and Dorchester along with access to beaches and airports within reasonable distance.
