St. Mary's Road, Sherborne

'9 St. Mary’s Road' is an exceptionally well-presented and much improved, link-detached, two double bedroom bungalow in a quiet and sought-after west Sherborne residential neighbourhood. The living spaces are supplemented by a very generous conservatory opening directly onto the sunny, west-facing rear garden. The bungalow benefits from many recent improvements, most notably new roofs throughout and a new boiler. The journey through this delightful bungalow starts with a practical entrance porch that leads into the main hallway, and from which all the main rooms are connected. The two double bedrooms come first, at the front, with an easterly aspect, capturing the morning sun. The bathroom comes next and following-on are the kitchen / breakfast room and sitting room that both enjoy the westerly, afternoon sun. The conservatory spans the entire width of the rear elevation and is accessed from both the kitchen and the sitting room. It provides a fantastic additional entertaining space of 160 square feet. Beyond the conservatory is a practical and versatile workroom - which could easily be used as a work-from-home or craft space - with a door into the garage. The paved rear garden path leads to the top of the garden where a bespoke, high quality summerhouse is sited. It provides a delightful retreat for morning coffee, a quiet reading or work-from-home space, or for evening drinks, and from which the exquisite garden can be fully appreciated.

The gardens are an outstanding feature of this property, established over the last six years to strict organic standards. The front garden has been very successfully developed with dry garden planting, creating a very colourful planting scheme, much-admired by passers-by. The rear garden has abundant herbaceous planting, a very good collection of fruit trees, and it’s mature shrubs have been clipped into shape for year-round interest. The rear garden can also be accessed by a side gate from the front, and the paved side path provides a useful space for wheelie-bins.

The main and conservatory roofs, soffits, facias and deep-flow gutters were all replaced in August 2026 and have a 10 year warranty.
