Summary - Longburton, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 DT9 5PD
3 bed 2 bath Link Detached House
Generous walled garden, village walks and easy access to Sherborne.
Three generous double bedrooms and large family bathroom
Laurel Cottage is a substantial, natural-stone link-detached home offering 1,345 sq ft of flexible family accommodation in the heart of a pretty Dorset village. The layout includes three double bedrooms, a large family bathroom, a separate ground-floor shower/utility room and two reception rooms linked to a conservatory and practical boot room. Character features such as window seats and a cast-iron log-burning stove sit alongside modern comforts including uPVC double and triple glazing and an oil-fired radiator central heating system.
Outside, the property benefits from a generous, level rear garden (approximately 63' x 37'6") enclosed by natural stone walls with a sunny easterly aspect, patio seating and a rainwater-harvesting butt. A private driveway provides off-street parking for one car and there is useful garden storage and an oil tank. The cottage is unlisted and therefore offers scope to extend at the rear, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.
Location is a key draw: the cottage stands within easy walking distance of the village centre and pub, with countryside walks from the doorstep. Sherborne town, its shops, schools and mainline station (direct services to London) are a short drive away, making this appealing for families who want village life with convenient links to larger amenities.
Practical matters to note: heating is oil-fired (oil tank on site), glazing is a mix of double and triple units (some double glazed units installed before 2002), and off-street parking is limited to one vehicle. Buyers seeking large, level garden space and period character with potential to extend will find genuine value here.
