Fairmont Terrace North Road Sherborne

'11 Fairmont Terrace' is a pretty, period, terraced, natural stone and brick cottage situated in a top 'tucked away' address near the heart of the sought-after Dorset Abbey town of Sherborne. The property has a lovely, south facing garden at the front and attached outbuilding and courtyard at the rear. It is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and offers great scope for further extension at the rear, subject to the necessary planning permission. This quaint property retains many appealing, original character features including elegant ceiling heights, picture rails and mouldings, original sash windows, cast iron fireplace surrounds and a cast iron multi-fuel stove. It also boasts extensive, south-facing views over Sherborne town to hills and countryside beyond at the front from the first and second floors. These views incorporate Sherborne Abbey and the new Castle. The property is enhanced by gas fired radiator central heating with a new boiler added in 2019. There is some double glazing. The well-arranged, deceptively spacious accommodation boasts good levels of natural light via large feature windows and comprises sitting room, dining room, kitchen and attached boiler room. On the first floor is a landing, one generous double bedroom, second room which could be used as an occasional double bedroom or study with first floor family bathroom off and staircase rising to the second floor. On the second floor is a large double bedroom enjoying fantastic views. It is only a short walk to the prestigious, historic town 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 also has good access to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West by The Times 2024. MUST BE VIEWED!

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.
