3 Westminster Cottages is a superb, beautifully presented, substantial semi-detached, natural stone, period cottage (2123 square feet) situated in a prime address near the heart of this popular Dorset town, overlooking the town green. The house is a short walk to the town amenities and only a short drive to the Abbey town of Sherborne. The property boasts beautifully landscaped, significant gardens at the front and rear with the overall plot extending to approximately a fifth of an acre (0.20 acres). There are two separate driveways which, combined offer private off road parking for five cars or more and lead to a large detached double garage workshop at the rear. The rear garden enjoys a sunny west-facing aspect and the front enjoys pleasant views across across The Ring – a town green and conservation area with pretty period properties opposite and views to countryside beyond. The property has been hugely extended and converted and finished tastefully over the years to offer deceptively spacious, highly flexible accommodation enjoying fantastic levels of natural light via large feature windows. The cottage is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and offers huge scope for further building, extension, conversion or reconfiguration of the existing accommodation to incorporate a granny annex, lodgers’ accommodation, office space to work from home or holiday let, subject to the necessary planning permission. The accommodation comprises entrance hall, sitting room with cast iron multi fuel burning stove, dining room leading in to second sitting room area on the rear garden side, kitchen breakfast room, utility room, side lobby/boot room, ground floor master double bedroom with en-suite shower room and second ground floor double bedroom/studio with en-suite shower room. On the first floor there is a landing area, two further generous double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The property is enhanced by gas fired radiator central heating and uPVC double glazing. There are superb rural walks from nearby the front door and yet only a short walk to the town amenities. Stalbridge is Dorset's smallest town and offers a selection of good pubs, a Church of England primary school, dentist's, library, optician's, chemist's, post office and petrol station. The town proudly boasts Dikes, a family run, independent superstore, deli and café, which is a short walk away and convenient for a wide range of good quality supplies. The popular, historic town 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 is just a short drive away. It is also a very short drive to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. This cottage is perfect for those couples or families making the most of the cheap mortgages available at the moment, buyers cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect pied-a-terre or final home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local private schools. It may also be of interest to the residential letting or holiday letting market. THIS UNIQUE PROPERTY MUST BE VIEWED TO BE APPRECIATED. NO FURTHER CHAIN.

About this agent
SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AND LETTING PROPERTY IN WEST LONDON SINCE 1983 Welcome to our webpage; we'll get as close as we possibly can to extending the same type of warm welcome you'd receive if you popped into our offices in Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Isleworth, or Northfields. That's our patch, and it's a patch we know well, having opened our first office in Ealing over 30 years ago. Things were very different then: we were without the Internet and with a full postbag, but the fundamentals of estate agency have remained the same. We still pride ourselves on being a local, independent agency with client service, communication and integrity as our core values. Whatever your property interests - residential or commercial, sales or lettings, property management or new homes, you'll find something of interest here.
