South Street, Leigh, Sherborne

NO FURTHER CHAIN. ‘3 Reads Cottages’ is a beautifully presented, deceptively spacious, terraced house situated in a popular. ‘tucked away’ residential address, a short walk to the pretty village centre, village shop and cafe and village hall. It is a short drive to Sherborne town centre and the mainline station to London Waterloo. This awesome home has been the subject of full renovation and boasts a generous, level rear garden enjoying a sunny easterly aspect. There is free, unrestricted parking on the lane at the front. It benefits from good levels of natural light from a sunny west-to-east aspect. It is enhanced by uPVC double glazing and is heated by a newly fitted LPG fired radiator central heating system plus a cast iron log burning stove. The accommodation is well arranged and comprises sitting room / dining room and open plan kitchen. On the first floor there is a landing area, two double bedrooms and a first floor family shower room. Some of the rooms on the first floor enjoy pleasant views to nearby countryside. The property is a short walk to the village shop / café and has countryside walks from nearby the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! The historic town centre of Sherborne is a 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 is also a short drive to two mainline railway stations making London Waterloo directly 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. 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.
