Description

This charming period cottage, constructed from natural stone, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable location near Sherborne town centre and the mainline rail service to London Waterloo. Character features abound in this property, including an Inglenook fireplace with a cast iron burner, flagstone flooring, exposed beams, and inviting window seats. While the home requires some updating, it is not subject to Grade II listing constraints, allowing for potential extensions with appropriate planning permissions. The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and central heating powered by mains gas. A standout feature is the substantial rear garden, measuring an impressive 96 feet in length, complete with a functional outbuilding. Additionally, there is free on-street parking easily accessible. The interior layout includes a spacious sitting room and open-plan kitchen/dining area on the ground floor, while the first floor comprises two generously sized bedrooms and a family shower room that could be revitalized to meet modern standards. Surrounded by scenic walking trails near The Quarr Nature Reserve and Purlieu Meadows, this cottage is perfect for couples aiming for their ideal home or investors seeking a rental or holiday let opportunity due to its proximity to quality schools.
