London Road, Milborne Port, Sherborne

This property is a very pretty, period, natural stone, double-fronted, end of terrace cottage (1222 square feet) boasting a large, level rear garden (76'5 x 36') and gated private driveway parking for one car with scope for more. The cottage is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet dates back to the mid 1700's. It retains many character features including exposed beams, window seats and stone fireplaces. It offers tremendous scope for extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permission. The cottage is well presented and benefits from mains gas fired radiator central heating (with recently installed new boiler) and newly fitted period-style uPVC double glazing. The accommodation is deceptively spacious and enjoys good levels of natural light from a southerly aspect at the front. It comprises dining hall, sitting room, large garden room / conservatory (19'10 x 10'3), kitchen / breakfast room, inner hall and ground floor bathroom. On the first floor, there is a landing area, three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are lovely countryside walks not far from the front door - ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is a very short, level walk to the 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. Sherborne town centre is only a very short drive away 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 also has good access to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. This property is ideal for aspiring families or couples looking for somewhere beautiful to settle in this exceptional area. IT MUST BE VIEWED!

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 and conference centre plus restaurant that is in the building of the original Sherborne House.
