2 bedroom end of terrace house

VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN. 'The Cottage' is a pretty, period, Grade II listed, natural stone cottage dating back to circa 1750. It is situated in a sought-after residential, ‘tucked-away’ backwater very near the centre of the picturesque, Dorset, Abbey town of Sherborne. The property enjoys character features including flagstone floors, period panelling, natural stone fireplaces, cottage latch doors and multi-pane windows. The cottage has recently improved with attention to the roof, insulation and internal decoration.  It benefits from gas-fired radiator central heating. The house has an elevated, generous, lawned rear garden and further rear courtyard for storage. Cottages of this nature in the town centre rarely come with any form of off-road parking. However, this cottage boasts an integral garage/workshop with internal access to the main cottage. The delightful, deceptively spacious (1180 square feet), flexible accommodation comprises entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen, utility room and ground floor WC. On the first floor there is a landing area, a generous double bedroom, a first floor family bathroom and a second sitting room/bedroom two with access to the rear garden. It is only a very short walk to the sought-after, historic town centre 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. It also has good access to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. This unique property is ideal for aspiring couples making the most of the cheap mortgages available at the moment looking for somewhere pleasant to settle in this exceptional area. It also may appeal to the pied-a-terre, holiday/residential letting or ex-London buyers/cash buyers linked with the local schools. VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN.
