Beautifully Refurbished Two Bedroom Home in Sherborne with Exceptional Garden, Garden Cabin & Solar/Battery System

Property Description

A beautifully presented and extensively refurbished two-bedroom home, enjoying an elevated position with far-reaching views, a particularly impressive mature rear garden and a superb timber garden cabin. The property has been substantially improved by the current owners, including rewiring, new heating, double glazing and the installation of a photovoltaic solar system with 10kW battery storage, creating a comfortable and energy-conscious home that is ready to move straight into.

From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of the care and attention that has gone into the refurbishment. The welcoming hallway has a useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs, attractive flooring and access to both the kitchen/dining room and living room, with the staircase rising to the first-floor landing.

The living room is a bright and comfortable reception space, with a wide glazed opening providing plenty of natural light and an attractive outlook. The room has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a relaxed everyday living space with direct access towards the rear of the property under an open veraanda.

The kitchen/dining room is an excellent example of the owners' approach to the refurbishment, combining a contemporary fitted kitchen with the warmth of timber work surfaces and attractive pale blue metro-style tiling. There is an extensive range of fitted wall and base units, integrated appliances, an electric hob, oven, sink and drainer, dishwasher and a large fridge/freezer. The kitchen also benefits from excellent natural light and views towards the garden and surrounding countryside. The adjoining dining area provides ample room for a dining table and chairs.

First Floor

The first-floor landing is a particularly pleasant space, with the property's distinctive yellow and pale blue colour scheme continuing upstairs and a window providing excellent natural light and views over the fields to the front. There is also useful storage and access to both bedrooms and the shower room.

Bedroom One is a generous double bedroom with a recessed area ideal for a large wardrobe or could easily be converted to a walk-in wardrobe area. The room is bright and airy, with a wide window providing attractive views to the rear and ample space for a substantial double bed and bedroom furniture.

Bedroom Two is another well-proportioned room, equally suitable as a second double bedroom, guest room or home office if required.

The shower room has been attractively refitted and includes a modern shower enclosure, wash hand basin set within a fitted vanity unit and WC. The room has a fresh, contemporary finish with blue mosaic tiling and useful fitted storage.

Outside

One of the property's outstanding features is undoubtedly the extensive and beautifully established rear garden. From the elevated position of the property, the garden stretches away from the house and has been thoughtfully designed to provide a mixture of lawn, mature planting, established borders, productive growing areas, paths and secluded seating spaces.

The garden is particularly well suited to anyone who enjoys gardening, growing vegetables or simply having plenty of outdoor space. There is a greenhouse together with numerous sheds, stores and useful outbuildings, while the mature planting gives the garden a wonderful sense of privacy and character.

A substantial timber garden cabin provides an exceptionally versatile additional space and has heating and lighting/power connected. Currently arranged as a combination of workspace, music room and home gym, it could equally provide a studio, home office, hobby room or retreat away from the main house. Its size and position make it a genuinely useful addition to the property rather than simply a garden shed'

The drone photography also demonstrates the impressive extent of the garden and the property's position overlooking the surrounding area. To the rear and beyond the neighbouring properties are open fields and attractive countryside, whilst the elevated position gives the house particularly pleasant long-distance views.

The property's photovoltaic solar installation and 10kW battery storage system are another significant benefit, complementing the extensive refurbishment undertaken by the owners and helping to reduce mains electricity costs significantly.
