4 bedroom end of terrace house for sale

A high specification and tastefully fitted four bedroom attached property forming part of a select development, peacefully located and only a few minutes’ walk from the village centre. Landscaped garden, double garage and ample parking. 



Built in 2003 by a reputable local builder, Abbots Cottage has been built to exacting standards, having a specification which would be hard pressed to be matched by any new home built in the present day. Testament to the excellent location, the current vendors have occupied the property since new. The property has been cleverly designed specifically to blend in with the period stone properties to the centre of the village, alongside all the advantages that come with owning a property built to contemporary building regulations. The property is built of natural stone and rendered elevations, with attractive stone quoins, tiled roof and oak framed covered porchway. The property has been architecturally designed over four floors, with the ground and first floor accommodating the principal bedroom and stunning reception rooms. The wide and welcoming entrance hallway immediately sets the theme and high standards of the property, with a beautiful oak floor and staircase catching the eye.  From the hallway, accommodation flows into the impressive kitchen and open plan dining room, stretching the length of the property. The kitchen/dining area is triple aspect and filled with natural light, once again offering attractive oak flooring and exposed beams. There is a comprehensive range of base and wall units with wooden worktops and an impressive island unit fitted with Zimbabwe black granite. The kitchen also includes a Belfast twin sink, dishwasher, waste disposal area, and Britannia Rangestyle double oven with electric ceramic hob and extractor hood over. The dining area is a wonderful entertaining area and has double doors leading to the garden. Returning to the hallway, the ground floor provides a WC and sizeable utility with Blue Lias worktops, sink and under counter space for white goods. The utility has both front and rear access to the property, great for welcoming muddy boots. 
The living room measures an impressive 29’6” x 13’0”, located on the first floor with pleasant village outlook and a centrepiece fireplace with stone surround and oak mantle. Completing the first floor is the principal bedroom, of excellent proportions with fitted wardrobes and a tastefully fitted en suite. 
The remaining three bedrooms are located on the second floor and lower ground floor. The second floor bedroom is a versatile room with eaves storage and an en suite bathroom. This room is currently utilised as a hobby room, but would equally serve well as a study, guest or child’s bedroom. The lower ground floor has two further double bedrooms with sizeable fitted wardrobes and a Jack and Jill bathroom, fitted with Jacuzzi bath. There is also a very practical and sizeable store room on the lower ground floor.

Abbots Cottage lies close to the centre of the popular village of Charlton Horethorne which has a traditional feel about it, with a village green to its centre overlooked by a public house/country hotel and a village store. Within the village there is also a primary school, church and thriving village hall. Charlton Horethorne is conveniently placed just five miles to the North of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne which with the local regional centre of Yeovil provides an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with many walks to be had from the village itself and golf clubs at both Sheborne and Yeovil while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Communication links are good with a 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 route.

The property is approached via a private driveway, offering ample parking immediately alongside the entrance to the property and in front of the double garage. The garages have electric roller doors, power and light. Attached to the garages is a side store and workshop. The rear garden is fully enclosed, bordered by an attractive stone wall. The gardens have been much loved by the current vendors, with non-slip decking and terraced areas for low maintenance, interspersed with water features, mature plants and fruit trees to include crab apple and Red Falstaff. There is a summerhouse privately positioned in the garden to enjoy the peaceful setting.
