Hound Street, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9

An attractive three bedroom, Grade II listed period cottage offering generous accommodation and a quintessential cottage garden, moments from Sherborne town centre. No Onward Chain.

Croft Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed period home, offering surprisingly spacious and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,327 sq ft (123 sq m), together with a delightful and well-established rear garden. The property occupies a prime position on Hound Street, widely regarded as one of Sherborne’s most attractive and historic locations.
Dating from the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century, the end of terrace cottage displays classic vernacular character, with traditional stone elevations, a pantile roof and cottage-style casement windows. The property has been sympathetically maintained and improved, successfully combining period charm with modern convenience to create a comfortable and highly appealing home.
The ground floor offers a well-balanced and flexible arrangement of accommodation, ideally suited to both everyday living and entertaining. At its heart is an inviting sitting room with flagstone flooring and a wood-burning stove set beneath a substantial timber lintel, providing a warm and characterful focal point. A separate living room, enhanced by roof glazing and garden-facing doors, enjoys an abundance of natural light and offers a relaxed space with a strong connection to the outside. The dining room provides a more formal setting and links naturally with the kitchen, creating an easy flow throughout the principal reception areas.
The kitchen is fitted in a timeless style, incorporating wooden cabinetry, solid work surfaces and tiled splashbacks, all in keeping with the character of the cottage. This leads through to a practical utility area and a ground floor WC, adding to the overall functionality of the accommodation.
On the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, together with a family bathroom. The well-proportioned size of the bathroom, gives scope to split and create an ensuite to the principal bedroom if so desired. The layout retains an attractive sense of period proportion, while providing comfortable and adaptable living space.
The property retains a wealth of character features, including flagstone and timber flooring, exposed beams, traditional joinery and feature fireplaces, all contributing to the warm and inviting atmosphere. These elements are complemented by tasteful modern enhancements, ensuring the house meets the demands of contemporary living.
Croft Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and deceptively spacious period home with a beautifully established garden, set in one of Dorset’s most desirable market towns.
