Description

This charming period cottage, characterized by its natural stone façade, is nestled in a desirable area just a short stroll from the historic town centre of Sherborne and its mainline railway station with direct links to London Waterloo. While the property presents a solid foundation brimming with original features—including an impressive Inglenook fireplace and exposed beams—it does require some renovation to fully realize its potential. The generous garden, measuring 96 feet in length, offers ample space for outdoor enhancements or landscaping projects. Additionally, there’s room to extend the property (subject to planning permission), adding further value. Current amenities include uPVC double glazing and gas central heating, yet modernization of the kitchen, bathroom, and overall aesthetic could significantly increase comfort and appeal. The layout provides well-proportioned living spaces including a sitting room with delightful features and two bedrooms above. This cottage is not only perfect for couples looking for their first home but also represents an excellent opportunity for investors interested in the local rental market or those seeking a weekend retreat close to nature as well as urban amenities.
