Description

Located in the heart of a charming Dorset village, ‘The Anchorage’ is a double-fronted, detached period cottage offering 1749 square feet of living space and abundant renovation potential. The property sits on a generous level plot of 0.11 acres, featuring a private driveway with ample parking for up to five vehicles and an attached single garage. This character cottage includes a detached natural stone barn/workshop, providing extra versatility for uses such as a studio or storage. Although some modernization is needed, the home retains unique features like exposed beams, open fireplaces, and flagstone floors that can be beautifully restored or enhanced. The existing layout provides flexible accommodation with three spacious double bedrooms and various reception areas including a welcoming sitting room and dining room bathed in natural light from its east to west aspect. The garden is beautifully enclosed by natural stone walls and enjoys a sunny westerly aspect—an attractive outdoor space ripe for landscaping. Importantly, this property is not bound by Grade II listing restrictions which allows for further expansion possibilities (subject to planning permission). Located just a short distance from amenities in Sherborne, it combines rural charm with convenient access to local attractions and rail connections to London Waterloo in under two hours. This home is an exceptional investment opportunity for those looking to create their dream residence in the heart of Dorset.
