Description

'Spring Cottage' is a charming, period semi-detached residence, offering an impressive 2628 square feet of living space. Nestled in the heart of a picturesque village, this property boasts proximity to local amenities such as a well-regarded pub and shop, while being just a short drive from Sherborne town centre and its mainline station to London Waterloo. The generous plot includes private driveway parking for multiple vehicles and a detached outbuilding that presents exciting possibilities for conversion into an annex, home office, or holiday rental (subject to planning). Though the main house retains a wealth of original features like high ceilings, exposed beams, and multi-pane windows, it is in need of modernisation to fully realise its potential. Benefiting from abundant natural light courtesy of its south-facing orientation, the accommodation comprises spacious reception areas including a sitting room with an open fireplace and an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with an oil-fired Aga. The layout also accommodates four double bedrooms and two bathrooms across two floors. Located in an area known for scenic countryside walks and top-rated local schools, this property not only offers charm but significant investment potential through renovation and expansion.
