Description

‘Lamborne’ is a larger-than-expected (1181 square feet), detached bungalow situated in a secret, ‘tucked away’ location in a small, gated community, a short walk to Sherborne town centre and mainline railway station to London. The bungalow benefits from a level, private south facing rear garden providing quite the suntrap plus side garden. There is driveway parking for one to three cars leading to a single integral garage with automatic roller door. The bungalow offers deceptively spacious, well laid out, flexible accommodation extending to 1181 square feet plus the appeal of excellent levels of natural light from dual aspects and a sunny southerly aspect at the rear. It is heated by a mains gas fired radiator central heating system and also benefits from uPVC double glazing. The well laid out accommodation comprises entrance porch, entrance reception hall, sitting room / dining room, garden room, kitchen / breakfast room, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room, second double bedroom and a family shower room / WC. There are countryside and town centre walks from nearby the front door of the property – ideal as you do not have to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is a short walk to the vibrant, historic town centre of Sherborne 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 walk to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo directly reachable in just over two hours. Sherborne has 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 superb restaurant. The location of the property offers excellent access to the A303 trunk road to London and Exeter and the A30 to Salisbury.
