Description

This two-bedroom end-of-terrace period property, situated in the desirable area of Sherborne, presents a promising opportunity for renovation and enhancement. Located conveniently near Cheap Street and local amenities, including supermarkets and railway access, this home boasts character with its local stone exterior and original features dating back to the early 19th century. While the interior requires updates, it currently benefits from gas central heating and potential solar water heating, though testing is advised. The layout includes a spacious reception hallway leading to a generous sitting/dining room with an appealing fireplace as its focal point. Additionally, there is a flexible ground floor room that could serve as either a bedroom or extra reception space, featuring distinctive arched windows that add charm. The fitted kitchen and ground floor shower room are functional yet offer scope for modernisation. A unique spiral staircase leads up to a mezzanine-style first floor with a large bedroom adorned with exposed beams and en suite facilities. Outside, the property has attractive gardens at the front and a small west-facing patio garden at the rear with easy outdoor access. As part of a trio of charming properties on Westbury Lane within Sherborne’s Conservation Area, it enjoys proximity to boutique shops, eateries, and transport links—including mainline service to London Waterloo—making it not only an ideal residence but also an investment opportunity in a thriving community.
