'Laburnum Cottage' is a simply lovely, deceptively spacious, semi-detached, period cottage situated in a fantastic, quintessentially English village centre address overlooking the pretty village green. The property is a short drive to Sherborne town centre and a short walk to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo at Yeovil Junction. The house boasts a beautifully presented, south-facing rear garden enjoying a good degree of privacy. There is also enclosed driveway parking for one car, with scope for more. Your home is simply stunning inside and out with oil-fired radiator central heating and uPVC double glazing. The property is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet retains much character including exposed beams, inglenook fireplace with log burning stove and cottage ceiling heights on the ground floor. The deceptively spacious accommodation extends to 1624 square feet and enjoys good levels of natural light from dual and triple aspects. It comprises entrance reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen with LPG fired hob and ground floor WC. On the first floor there is a landing area, three double bedrooms – one with an en-suite shower room / WC and a family bathroom. There are fantastic rural dog walks from nearby the front door. It is only a short walk to the village pub and mainline railway station to London. It is also only a short drive the historic town of Sherborne with its coveted high street, buzzing, popular out-and-about culture, boutique stores, organic bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, gastro-pubs and farmers market. Sherborne also boasts the breath-taking Sherborne Abbey building, Alms Houses and world-famous Sherborne private schools. It also has the mainline railway station in the centre of the town, making London Waterloo in just over two hours without changing your seat. The property is perfect for those buyers looking for the ideal village lifestyle or cash buyers retiring from the South East or villages and 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 pied-a-terre, buy-to-let or holiday letting markets. THE LOVELY COTTAGE MUST BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED.
