St Monan's, a charming detached house constructed from local honey-hued stone and render under a classic clay-tiled roof, carries the historic essence of a building believed to date back to around 1900. With its desirable south and south-west facing orientation, this property benefits from an abundance of natural light that fills the spacious reception rooms and bedrooms. The high ceilings and deep windowsills further enhance the property's generous proportions, reflecting its sturdy original structure.
The welcoming entrance hall leads you to various spaces including a dining room, cloakroom, and sitting room featuring a fireplace that could be restored to its former glory with an open fire, pending chimney inspection. The kitchen houses a traditional two-oven AGA along with ample cabinetry and space for modern appliances. French doors provide easy access to the garden for outdoor dining on warm days.
Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms include an adaptable dressing room that could serve as an additional bedroom. The first floor also contains a shower room and a utility area with potential for conversion into an ensuite or family bathroom, alongside useful built-in storage solutions.
This property presents substantial opportunities for enhancement. An integral garage offers possible conversion into a spacious kitchen-dining area leading out onto a terrace, while the existing lean-to garage could be expanded further subject to planning permissions. With its central position in Sherborne coupled with ample indoor space and manageable gardens, St Monan's is primed for transformation into a family residence, vacation home or serene retirement haven amidst convenient amenities.
The south-west facing garden is secluded by stone walls, predominantly laid to lawn with mature greenery offering scenic views towards Sherborne Abbey and lush hills beyond. Accessed via a driveway lined with traditional stonework leading to a sizeable parking area and two garages that provide significant storage or workshop potential.
Located in picturesque Sherborne — known for its vibrant cultural scene dominated by its historic Abbey — this property situates you near independent schools and recreational activities while maintaining excellent transport links including direct train services to London.
