The Terrace, Pound Road, Thornford, Sherborne, DT9

A delightful three bedroom cottage with garden outbuildings and beautiful south facing garden, situated in the heart of this most favoured village with amenities close at hand.


Situated in the heart of the sought after village of Thornford, 1 The Terrace is one of 5 Victorian cottages believed to have been built in 1897 of handsome brick and stone elevations under a slate roof. The property has been a much-loved family home for many years; during which time it has been sympathetically updated and reconfigured throughout, recently incorporating the addition of a stylish fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and coloured composite double glazed windows. The property is deceptively spacious offering 1,204 sq. ft of accommodation together with excellent functional garden outbuildings which include a workshop and summerhouse.
Internally the accommodation is reached from a hallway which opens through to a fantastic open plan sitting/dining room featuring two fireplaces, one of which is in use and has an ornate cast iron surround. The kitchen is a really striking space thoughtfully designed with statement pale blue fitted cupboards and drawers with slimline worktops over and matching freestanding island unit which integrates a breakfast bar and further storage. Integral appliances include eye level electric ovens and a gas hob (powered by LPG) The kitchen has a lovely outlook across the pretty rear garden and a convenient porch with sliding patio doors onto the garden terrace.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom which has been well thought out with raised bath, heated towel rail, basin vanity unit and a separate shower. The second floor has an impressive 18’7” x 14’5” bedroom with bright dual aspect and far-reaching views across beautiful scenic countryside.
Unrestricted parking is available immediately in front of the property and the terrace has a pedestrian right of way providing access into the garden.

Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with many walks to be enjoyed from the village itself while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Communication links are good with a train halt on the Bristol to Weymouth line to the west of the village with a main line station linking directly with London Waterloo and road links are along the A303 joined at Sparkford giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

The garden is delightful enjoying a south facing orientation and wonderful open views at the rear across fields and beyond. The garden has a stunning display of established borders brimming with colour, designed to give shape and form throughout the seasons. The gardens are laid partly to lawn, paving and stone chippings and are flanked by a character stone wall adding real depth to the garden and an established feel. At the rear of the garden there is a fantastic private undercover seating area from which to take in the lovely scenery and serene setting, providing a perfect place to barbecue, entertain and relax. There is also a greenhouse, workshop and summerhouse both of which are equipped with power and light and lend themselves to a multitude of uses.
