3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A wonderful semi-detached Edwardian house with the high ceilings and generous proportions typical of the period. Constructed of brick under a tiled roof, the property is arranged over three floors and, thanks to its south-facing aspect, enjoys excellent natural light throughout the principal rooms.
The ground floor features an impressive drawing room with a large bay window with double doors opening into the sitting room, maximising the natural light. Stripped wooden floors complement the original wooden doors and the fireplace with tiled surround, which provides an attractive focal point.
The kitchen/dining room lies to the rear of the house and is a generous space, having been extended to create an ideal area for family living and entertaining. Well equipped, it incorporates shaker-style base units beneath wooden worktops, a large Belfast sink and an impressive gas range cooker, along with space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. There is ample room for a dining table and even a sofa, making this a versatile and welcoming space. French doors open directly onto the rear garden. A cloakroom and a useful utility/storage room complete the ground floor.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is located at the front of the house and benefits from excellent built-in storage, stripped wooden floors, a large bay window and a cream-tiled en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, both with original fireplaces and one with built-in wardrobes, are served by a family bathroom finished with blue tiling and stripped wooden flooring.
The second floor provides a loft room with Velux windows and access to eaves storage.

OUTSIDE
The garden, accessed from both the kitchen and the reception room, is full of interest, with a variety of trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders surrounding a good-sized lawn. It is enclosed by wooden fencing and includes a small wooden shed at one end and a terraced seating area close to the house. To the front, steps lead up from the road past a small lawn with shrubs, hedging and borders, all set behind a stone wall.
Overall, this is a bright and well-proportioned family home with a delightful garden, ideally located close to all the amenities of this increasingly popular Abbey town.

LOCATION
Dominated by its ancient Abbey and school, Sherborne is widely regarded as one of the most attractive towns in Dorset. Numerous musical and cultural events take place throughout the year, alongside a superb range of traditional shops and independent boutiques. The beautifully refurbished Sherborne House is a landmark destination for the arts.
The town’s two castles, one formerly home to Sir Walter Raleigh, reflect its rich history. Much of the centre is designated a Conservation Area, where strict planning controls help preserve its special character. West Dorset is renowned for its unspoilt countryside, with many attractive villages and walking routes nearby. The Jurassic Coast lies approximately 25 miles away at Weymouth, part of a spectacular World Heritage Site stretching from Portland to Lyme Regis.

SPORTING AND RECREATION
The surrounding countryside offers an extensive network of bridleways and footpaths, ideal for walking, cycling and riding. Water sports are available at Sutton Bingham Reservoir near Yeovil or along the south coast. Horse racing can be found at Wincanton, Salisbury, Bath and Exeter, while golf courses include Yeovil, Sherborne and Dorchester.

EDUCATION
The area is well served by respected independent schools, including the Sherborne Schools Group, Leweston, Perrott Hill and Hazlegrove. The Gryphon secondary school is highly regarded and easily accessible.
