Longburton

NO FURTHER CHAIN. ‘The Longburton Victoria Temperance Hall’ is a very pretty, period, natural stone, detached building situated in highly desirable edge-of-village address with a generous plot and lawned grounds extending to 0.13 acres approximately. The hall is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet retains many character features including excellent ceiling heights and gothic architecture. The property is connected to mains drainage and benefits from electric light and power. The accommodation boasts excellent levels of natural light and comprises entrance porch, main hall room with vaulted ceiling, kitchen, rear hall and WC / cloakroom. There are countryside walks not far from the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is a very short walk to the village centre, church and popular public house. The historic town centre of Sherborne is a short drive away. 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 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. This property boasts huge potential for conversion to a residential dwelling and the addition of driveway parking and a garage or carport, subject to the necessary planning permission. VACANT.
