4 bedroom terraced house for sale

A beautifully presented four bedroom period home with wonderful character features, close to the centre of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne.


Thought to have been built in 1913, Epworth is a fine example of a period home built of attractive red brick elevations with decorative hung tile cladding and a large front box bay window. As you would expect from a home of this era, there are a wealth of delightful period features which include; a beautiful spindle staircase, generous ceiling heights, picture rails, ceiling roses, stripped floor boards and ornate fireplaces. Over the years the property has been extended on the ground floor with the addition of a large conservatory and cloakroom and has also benefited from a part loft conversion which provides a fourth bedroom, and has most recently been enhanced further by opening up the key reception areas. The accommodation is arranged from a bright and striking hallway which leads into the dining room and sitting room which are now partly open plan and seamlessly connect the living spaces to accommodate more modern day living, yet retain an abundance of period features. There are two fireplaces in both rooms, one a coal effect gas fire and the other an exposed brick fireplace with inset multi fuel stove. The kitchen links through from the conservatory and hall and is fitted with floor cupboards and wooden worktop over, inset Belfast sink with mixer tap, and a free standing cupboard. There is a 5 ring Gas Rangemaster, dishwasher and space for fridge freezer. The cloakroom accessed from the conservatory, has plumbing and space for a washing machine and a drier. The conservatory is a multifunctional space and connected to the mains allowing use throughout the year and has lovely views over the garden. New flooring has been laid throughout conservatory and kitchen areas.
Upstairs the generous landing is particularly appealing and has a good amount of natural light and attractive tongue and groove panelling to walls. There are four bedrooms, three of which are on the first floor and a fourth on the second floor which is currently used as the main bedroom and has a lovely serene ambience and views across the roof tops of Sherborne. Subject to any necessary consents, there is further space in the loft to create perhaps an ensuite bathroom and or a dressing room from this bedroom.
The property benefits from UPVC double glazed windows, gas fired central heating and has Cat 6A cables running throughout the house with multiple outlets. Patch panel is located in the loft space with many connection points. There is a Multimedia station in the living space with connections and built in fan cooling system.
