Cannon Court Mews, Milborne Port, Sherborne

This is a house that is full of surprises and an absolute tardis. What will surprise you most? The character, the size, the lovely private garden or the garage and parking. The phrase “deceptively spacious” is totally appropriate as the internal floor area is 1418 sq ft. This 4 bedroom house is beautifully presented throughout and retains much charm and character, as the original building was a 1740’s granary, but is not encumbered by being listed. It offers total peace and tranquillity and is just a short walk from the village shops.

Accommodation - The front door leads into a good size hallway and stairs to the first floor with useful under stairs storage cupboards. The kitchen/ breakfast room is separated into two areas. The kitchen is fitted with floor and wall units with oak work surface and 1½ bowl sink. There is integral double oven with gas hob over and dish washer along with plenty of space for the fridge/freezer. One cupboard houses the Worcester boiler and there is a back door to the garden. The breakfast area has ample space for table and chairs and a deep bay window overlooks the garden.

The sitting and dining rooms are joined by double doors and are absolutely charming, both with sliding patio doors to the garden.

Also to the ground floor is a modern shower room which is fitted with units, WC, wash hand basin and a walk in shower cubicle.

Stairs lead to the spacious landing. This, along with all of the bedrooms, have attractive wooden exposed beams adding a real “olde worlde” feeling, and the rooms to the rear enjoy lovely countryside views. The airing cupboard is located on the landing and houses the hot water tank.
