Description

This detached property, built around 1900 from local honey-coloured stone, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and enhancement. Characterized by its generous proportions and high ceilings, the home is filled with natural light thanks to its favorable south and south-west facing orientation. The entrance leads into a spacious hallway with access to a dining room and sitting room featuring an existing fireplace that could potentially be reinstated. While the kitchen already hosts a traditional two-oven AGA, it holds promise for modernization or reconfiguration, especially with direct access to the garden via French doors—ideal for outdoor dining. The first floor accommodates four sizable bedrooms plus a dressing room that has potential to be transformed into an additional bedroom. An upstairs utility room offers further possibilities for creating an ensuite or enhancing the layout with a family bathroom. The integral garage and lean-to garage provide further options for expansion or conversion, subject to planning approval. Set in the appealing town of Sherborne known for its cultural events and picturesque surroundings, this property benefits from a manageable garden with scenic views towards Sherborne Abbey. With its central location and ample space, this home can easily be adapted into a family residence, secondary home, or tranquil retreat in a vibrant market town.
