VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN! HUGE 90' ENCLOSED PRIVATE GARDEN WITH NO RIGHT OF WAYS ACROSS IT! POTENTIAL FOR DRIVEWAY PARKING (subject to the necessary consent and planning permission). 'Hill Cottage' a very charming, natural stone, period, Grade II listed, terraced cottage situated amongst other attractive character properties in one of Sherborne's most iconic street scenes. Situated at the head of the high street, this cottage offers so much. Although requiring renovation, it retains a wealth of amazing character features including wide solid Elm floorboards, stone fireplace with cast iron stove fire, exposed beams, multi pane windows, window seats and internal stone elevations. It is heated via a mains gas fired radiator central heating system and some secondary double glazing. The accommodation comprises sitting room, kitchen / breakfast room, ground floor bathroom with separate WC. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms - one with fitted wardrobes. The huge garden at the rear of the cottage extends to approximately 90' and is accessed currently via the kitchen at the rear of the cottage. The garden backs on to a private road at the end of Priestlands Lane. We believe that there is a possibility of gaining access to the rear of the garden via Priestlands Lane and adding driveway parking to the cottage or even a garage. However, this would be subject to the residents consent and planning permission.  It is a very short walk to the 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 is also a short walk to the mainline railway station in Sherborne, making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours. The property is perfect for those aspiring singles or couples looking for the ideal Sherborne lifestyle, couples cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect West Country home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools. It may also be of interest to the holiday letting, residential letting or second home market.  THIS RARE AND UNIQUE PROPERTY MUST BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED. NO FURTHER CHAIN.
