Set on a generous, elevated plot at the head of a quiet cul‑de‑sac, this double‑fronted detached house offers flexible family living with superb southerly views across Sherborne, including both castles. The well‑planned layout provides three reception rooms, a conservatory and a large kitchen/breakfast room, plus four generous bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. A detached double garage and private driveway for 2–4 cars add strong practical appeal.
The rear garden is level, private and thoughtfully landscaped with patios, mature borders, a fishpond and greenhouse — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. The property is double glazed, gas‑heated and benefits from extras such as a water softener and intruder alarm. Its elevated position means plenty of natural light and far‑reaching town and countryside views from the front rooms.
Location is a major plus: a short, level walk to the town centre, Waitrose and the mainline station (direct trains to London), plus nearby parks and countryside walks that suit an active family lifestyle. There is scope to extend at the side and rear to add living space, subject to obtaining necessary planning permission.
Important practical points: the house was built in the mid‑2000s and is presented in good order, but any side/rear enlargement will require planning consent. Council tax is described as expensive — buyers should factor running costs into their budget.
