Westbury, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9

Well-positioned two-bedroom end-of-terrace period home, ideally located in the heart of Sherborne


An excellent opportunity to update and enhance this well-positioned two-bedroom end-of-terrace period home, ideally located in the heart of Sherborne — just moments from Cheap Street, local supermarkets, and the railway station. The property features attractive gardens, on-road parking, and is offered with no onward chain.
Believed to date from the early 19th century, this characterful residence is built of local stone elevations beneath a tiled roof. While now in need of renovation, the property benefits from gas central heating and solar water heating (not tested), offering a fantastic base for modernisation.
A porch and front door open into a light and spacious reception hall, leading to a generous sitting/dining room featuring an attractive fireplace.
Off the hallway is a versatile ground floor bedroom or additional reception room, enjoying a southerly aspect and boasting distinctive arched windows that lend real character and charm.
To the rear lies a fitted kitchen and a ground floor shower room. A spiral staircase rises to a mezzanine-style first floor, where there is a spacious bedroom with exposed beams and en suite bathroom facilities.
