Sansomes Hill, Milborne Port, Sherborne

'Inglenook Cottage' is a beautiful, double-fronted, period, end of terrace house situated in the old heart of this popular Somerset village, a very short drive to Sherborne town and the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The cottage is in lovely condition throughout and is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing. It retains many stunning character features including flagstone floors, open fireplaces, period sash windows with working shutters and window seats. The property benefits from mains gas fired radiator central heating, several cast iron log burning stoves and some double glazing. There is a generous, terraced, elevated garden at the rear providing a good level of privacy. There is free, unrestricted street parking directly opposite the house. The well laid out, sociable, deceptively spacious accommodation comprises sitting room, dining room, snug / living room, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom / ground floor WC. On the first floor is a landing, four double bedrooms – one with en-suite shower room and a separate family bathroom. There is a good-sized natural stone outbuilding at the rear. There are superb country lane walks from nearby the front door as well as being within walking distance of the excellent village centre, church, public house, primary school and village shops. Milborne Port boasts The Clockspire - a superb new restaurant, a brand new Co-op mini supermarket and a very good doctors surgery. It is only a short drive to the historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools. It is also a short drive to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West by The Times 2024. It also boasts ‘The Sherborne’ – a top class, recently opened arts centre.
