Wootton Grove, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a two-bedroom Victorian terraced house in Sherborne with beautiful period features throughout. This charming property has been tastefully upgraded to include a full house rewire, new bathroom suite, fully fitted stylish kitchen with breakfast bar (all in 2021) and landscaped garden. Located in the sought-after area of Wootton Grove and within walking distance of the town centre, this property is a real gem, not to be missed.

Ground Floor
Entering the hallway, with coir matting underfoot, stairs ascend to the first floor. To the right, the sitting room, with sash bay window to the front, is a bright and welcoming space with tall ceilings and a glorious cast iron and slate open fireplace, with tiled surrounds. The dining room is equally as striking, with exposed pine panelling, and exquisite tiled period fireplace, floor to ceiling cupboards and drawers in one corner and an understairs cupboard providing ample storage space. The modern, dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room with navy shaker style base units and mirrored glass display wall cabinets has been tastefully designed to make use of the space with attractive lighting. The kitchen is fitted with a fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, Zanussi oven, four ring induction hob, touchscreen extractor, six-bottle wine cooler and 1½ bowl ceramic sink with swan tap and drainer. An undercounter area provides space for a tumble-drier opposite the breakfast bar and solid oak worktops throughout make this an inviting space.

First Floor
The principal bedroom to the front of the property is a generous space with two sash windows, a tall ceiling and cast-iron fireplace which are beautiful features within this room. A loft hatch also provides ample scope for conversion, subject to necessary planning permission. Bedroom two, at the rear of the property, is a double bedroom with the added benefit of a cast-iron period fireplace and sash window. The family bathroom begins with a half-frosted glass door and to the left is a corner shower with rainfall showerhead and WC. A Burlington roll top bath with shower mixer takes pride of place in the bathroom. A sash window overlooks the rear garden, and a corner cupboard with Worcester combination boiler (new in 2021) provides domestic hot water and central heating.

Outside
The house is set back from the road behind a low red brick wall with wrought iron fencing atop. A gravel border with established shrubs sits below the front window. The rear garden has a gravelled pathway that leads from the back door to a paved patio surrounded by raised planting beds which currently house roses and lavender. The garden itself is fully enclosed with a red brick wall to the right and wooden panel fencing to the back and left. A wooden toolshed sits in the corner of the garden and a gate opens into a pathway that leads around the back of the terrace to the street.

Location
Wootton Grove lies on the northwest side of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne. Sherborne is a particularly attractive Abbey town with a conservation area to its centre and a good number of amenities including the Abbey, a main line train station, two doctors’ surgeries, a library and a comprehensive range of shops, public houses and restaurants. The local regional centre of Yeovil lies within short driving distance and together with Sherborne, provides an excellent range of cultural, recreational, and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area with golf clubs at both Sherborne and Yeovil. The area is particularly well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Excellent travel links are available from the main line station linking directly with London Waterloo and with road links via the A303 from Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.
