The house occupies a generous plot (0.16 acres approximately) with the main garden at the front enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect and good privacy plus a very private sun terrace and al-fresco eating area at the side. There is private driveway parking for three to four cars leading to a detached single garage. The house is heated by a mains gas fired radiator central heating system with recently fitted Worcester boiler and also benefits from uPVC double glazing.

On the first floor, there is a landing area, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the second floor, there is a large fourth double bedroom / attic room boasting amazing views of Sherborne town and the hills and countryside beyond. The house offers potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning permission. There are superb countryside walks not far from the front door at The Quarr Nature Reserve, Purleigh, The Water Meadows and The Sherborne Castles – ideal as you do not have to put the kids and the dogs in the car! The property is a short walk to the sought-after, historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street and cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools. It also is a short walk to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. This property is ideal for aspiring couples and families looking for somewhere pleasant to settle in this idyllic area. It also may appeal to the pied-a-terre market or letting / holiday letting market from cash buyers linked with the local schools. This high specification home must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.

    SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AND LETTING PROPERTY IN WEST LONDON SINCE 1983 Welcome to our webpage; we'll get as close as we possibly can to extending the same type of warm welcome you'd receive if you popped into our offices in Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Isleworth, or Northfields.  That's our patch, and it's a patch we know well, having opened our first office in Ealing over 30 years ago.
