Directions - On entering the village from Sherborne, Wyke Cottage will be found on the left hand side, just before The Tippling Philosopher public house.

Situation - Wyke Cottage is situated in the heart of this sought-after conservation village, within walking distance of local amenities including the Parish Church, pub, primary school, shops, doctors’ surgery, and The Clockspire, a superb restaurant. Sherborne, just 4 miles away, offers a wider range of shopping, leisure, and schooling options, along with its picturesque Abbey, boutique high street, and a mainline railway station to Exeter and London Waterloo.

Description - Wyke Cottage is a deceptively spacious three/four bedroom link-detached, three-storey cottage, constructed principally of stone elevations beneath a tiled roof. The property is beautifully presented throughout and benefits from leaded light double-glazed windows and gas-fired central heating. It retains a wealth of character features including exposed beams, window seats, log burners, and multi-fuel stoves, blending period charm with modern comfort.

The ground floor offers excellent living space with two reception rooms and a generous kitchen/dining room fitted with newly installed shaker-style units and quartz worktops, together with an adjoining laundry room and cloakroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, along with a family shower room. The second floor provides a flexible suite of rooms comprising a lounge area, bedroom, and bathroom, making it ideal as a guest suite or independent living space.

Outside, the property is approached via a shared driveway leading to a garage, adjoining workshop, and large carport. To the rear lies a secluded, mainly walled garden with an attractive insulated log cabin, perfect as a home office, studio, or hobby room.

Accommodation - A charming period home with characterful features and modern upgrades. The entrance lobby leads to stairs to the first floor and into the dining room/snug, featuring a stone fireplace with inset multi-fuel stove, engineered oak flooring, and a large front window with seat. The sitting room boasts a natural stone fireplace with log burner, oak flooring, under-stairs storage, and a multi-pane side window. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is fitted with a newly installed shaker-style kitchen, quartz worktops, ceramic Belfast sink, integrated appliances, wine cooler, and a Rangemaster cooker with five-burner gas hob and double oven. Glazed doors lead to the side and the laundry room, which houses the Worcester Bosch combi boiler and provides space for washing and drying. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has dual-aspect views, exposed pine floorboards, and an en suite shower. Bedroom two features a period cast iron fireplace, while bedroom three/study includes a light tunnel, pine floors, and built-in storage.
