Quarr Lane Park is a select development within walking distance of the delightful town of Sherborne and its historical Abbey. This favourable development is home to the over 50’s and forms a lovely community. The property was purchased by the current owner as an exciting design project, with completion not being possible on health grounds, leading to a reluctant sale.
On entering this property you are welcomed by a spacious living/dining room. The two bay windows allow an abundance of light to shine through. The kitchen is fitted with a new (reconditioned) electric Aga, integrated fridge, base units with work surface over, sink and drainer, wall mounted cupboard and still space for a fridge freezer. Additionally within the kitchen there is a recess which houses the Worcester LPG gas fired boiler. This can also provide alternative storage. The bathroom comprises a WC, wall mounted vanity unit with a basin underneath and storage, heated towel rail and a cubical shower equipped with a Creda electric shower. This park home was formally a two bedroom but has now been made into one, it has been opened up internally to maximise space and light. Top of the range oak effect hard floor has been fitted throughout. There are large windows on all four aspects giving an abundance of light to every room.

AGENTS NOTE: There is an annual ground rent payable of approximately £1680.00. Leasehold.
Parking for one car only, and one dog or cat permitted.

Quarr Lane lies in the historic Abbey town of Sherborne just to the north of the main thoroughfare of Cheap Street within close walking distance of many of the town's amenities. Number 39 is located in an enviable position within the development of Park Homes with the old quarry as its backdrop. Adjacent to the home is the Quarr Nature Reserve which is popular with walkers and dog walkers. Amenities in the Town include the Abbey, a main line station, two supermarkets, two doctors’ surgeries and a comprehensive range of shops, public houses and restaurants. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the local regional centre of Yeovil lies within short motoring distance and provides, with Sherborne, an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Transport links are good with the main line station at Sherborne linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25.

Privately located within the development, the plot is situated to offer maximum privacy and seclusion, compared with other sites on Quarr Lane Park. There are two separate doors leading to the wrap around outside space, offering great potential for a very special garden. Please note that part of the garden is part of a fire exit route. There is a level pedestrian pathway from the centre of the development car park to the back of the home.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 21, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 1, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
