Description

This charming link-detached stone residence is situated in a desirable village location, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and providing generous private parking. The property features two well-proportioned bedrooms that possess notable character and charm, along with significant potential for enhancement and extension—opportunities include the conversion of the garage and a stone outbuilding, contingent on obtaining necessary consents. The property showcases attractive stone elevations beneath a slate roof, with an appealing double-fronted design accentuated by traditional sash windows, which contribute to its curb appeal. While currently well-presented, there is ample opportunity for customisation and expansion through strategic renovations. Inside, the layout comprises a spacious entrance porch that leads to both the interior living spaces and the expansive garden outside. The kitchen is functional yet could benefit from modern updates or reconfiguration to maximise usability. An adjoining pantry serves as practical storage, while the ground floor bathroom is easily accessible from this area. The living room is designed as an inviting space filled with natural light through its dual-aspect windows and features a multi-fuel burning stove as its centerpiece. Upstairs, the landing benefits from additional natural light through a skylight. The principal bedroom impresses with views overlooking the gardens, while the second bedroom also offers dual aspects and built-in storage. Additionally, the garden has been carefully landscaped into distinct sections featuring level lawns surrounded by mature shrubs—a tranquil environment enhanced by an enchanting summer house. A substantial stone-built outbuilding at the property’s edge presents exciting possibilities for repurposing into additional living accommodations or studio space pending relevant permissions. With off-road parking leading to a double garage that also houses essential utilities like the boiler, this property balances functionality with aesthetic appeal. Located within easy reach of local amenities in Alweston and Sherborne's vibrant town centre alongside excellent transport links to London Waterloo, it provides not only comfort but also promising investment potential for future development.
