- Central location within walking distance to Sherborne town
- Four wonderfully light bedrooms

The extensive ground floor is a welcoming space, equally suited for day to day living as it is for entertaining. The sitting room, positioned at the front of the house, is full of character with large sash windows, plenty of bookshelves and a delightful fireplace with gas fire (not tested) providing a pleasing focal point. The dining room, with its impressive stone fireplace and fitted units, has wood flooring that runs seamlessly through to the kitchen breakfast room which can be used for more informal dining. The kitchen itself is very well appointed with a range of painted wall and base units under a wooden work surface with tiled splash back. There is a white ceramic 1.5 bowl sink, 4 ring gas hob, integrated oven, dishwasher and space and connection for a fridge freezer, ensuring this is a very practical space for food preparation. Worth a special mention is the incredibly light and bright Conservatory/Family Room that lies to the south of the property. French doors open from here to both an internal courtyard and the terrace that lies to the rear of the property. In addition, there is a conveniently located cloakroom and plenty of built in storage.
Stairs rise from the hallway in the centre of the property to the first floor, where three excellent bedrooms with sash windows can be found, two of which benefit from an ensuite shower room. A further set of stairs then rises to the second floor where there is a fourth bedroom, further bathroom, and fabulous views south across the rooftops of Sherborne to the Castle, Abbey, and hills beyond.
OUTSIDE
The delightful south facing gardens are what really set this property apart. They have been cleverly landscaped and lovingly nurtured to provide all year round colour and interest and are full of a rich abundance of flora and fauna. Mature trees, established shrubs, clipped hedging, lawned areas and even raised beds ensure this is a real gardeners delight. Bounded by a beautiful old stone wall on one side, adorned with a variety old English roses and various climbers, a path leads down to a hugely versatile garden studio that could be used for any number of purposes.
All things considered, this is a wonderful property in a very popular and convenient location.
SITUATION
The property is located on Newland Garden, one of Sherborne’s most sought after addresses. Dominated by its ancient Abbey and school, Sherborne is arguably the most attractive town in Dorset. Numerous musical and cultural events occur throughout the year and there is a superb range of traditional shops and boutiques. The two castles, one of which was home to Sir Walter Raleigh, reflect the historic nature of the town, the centre of which is designated a Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to preserve its special character.
West Dorset is well known for its unspoilt landscape and there are many pretty villages and countryside walks nearby. The Jurassic Coast is a mere twenty miles away at Weymouth. This stretch of coastline, from Portland to Lyme Regis, with its spectacular cliffs, has recently been designated a World Heritage Site.
Communications to this part of the country are excellent. From Sherborne there is a regular train service to Waterloo in about 2 hours 25 minutes; the station is within walking distance. The A303 (linking with the M3) is a dual carriageway almost the whole way to the M3, thus putting London within a reasonable drive.
