Bishops Lane, Bradford Abbas

NO FURTHER CHAIN. ‘Coverack’ is a deceptively spacious (1264 square feet), mature, detached bungalow situated on the edge of the sought-after Dorset village of Bradford Abbas. The property stands in a generous plot and gardens extending to 0.17 acres approximately with gardens at the front, side and rear. The bungalow benefits from private driveway parking for five cars (with scope for more, subject to the necessary planning permission) leading to a large, detached one-and-a-half size garage / workshop with inspection pit. It boasts oil-fired radiator central heating and uPVC double glazing. The accommodation is flexible and boasts excellent levels of natural light from a sunny west-to-east aspect, large feature windows and dual aspects. It comprises entrance porch, entrance reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, three double bedrooms, family bathroom and separate shower room / WC. This lovely home also has country lane walks and walks to the pretty village centre from the front door – ideal as you do not have to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is also a very short walk to the popular village pub, sought after primary school and parish church. Access to the A303 trunk road to London and the south west is good. It is only a short drive to the centres of Sherborne, Bruton and Wincanton towns. Bruton is particularly popular with ex-London buyers and offers Hauser & Wirth Somerset - a pioneering world-class gallery and multi-purpose arts centre. It also boasts The Newt - a country estate with splendid gardens, woodland, hotel, restaurants and farmland. It is a short drive to the nearby town of Sherborne. Sherborne boasts a superb boutique high street with coffee shops, 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 the mainline railway station making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours.

Sherborne has 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 superb restaurant.
