Bethany is a historically significant Grade II listed stone property, tracing its origins back to the 1680s. Ideally located just a short walk from Sherborne's vibrant town centre, this residence offers ample off-street gravel parking and presents an attractive opportunity for renovation. Characterized by its abundant natural light and charming period features—such as exposed beams, window seats, and original shutters—this home invites enhancements that could modernize its appeal while preserving its historical essence.
The kitchen/breakfast area boasts shaker-style cabinets paired with wooden worktops, complemented by a traditional gas Aga and essential appliances. A sizable utility room with outdoor access and a cloakroom adds practicality to the layout. The dining room connects seamlessly to both the kitchen and drawing room, featuring French doors that open up to a terrace perfect for entertaining. The inviting drawing room, highlighted by a woodburning stove nestled in a stone surround, creates a cozy atmosphere.
On the upper floors, three bedrooms are offered—two generous doubles including one ensuite—and a shared bathroom. Notably, the second floor contains spacious vaulted attic rooms equipped with Velux windows and plumbing for potential additional bathrooms, all of which provide an excellent canvas for expanding living space, subject to necessary consents.
The west-facing garden is enclosed with stone walls and box hedging, offering an appealing outdoor retreat adorned with mature plantings including olive and fig trees. A summer house enhances this tranquil setting, providing further possibilities for outdoor enjoyment. With convenient access via a shared driveway through ornamental gates, this property also benefits from proximity to Sherborne’s rich cultural landscape and strong local amenities.
Given its central location and diverse potential—whether as a family home or investment property—Bethany presents significant opportunities for those looking to invest in refurbishment within an exquisite historical context.
