Set on a very large plot in Longburton, this spacious link-detached cottage offers generous family living across 1,380 sq ft. The house has been thoughtfully improved, retaining character while adding practical spaces: two reception rooms, a sun room that floods the home with light, plus a utility and boot room for everyday life. A large, enclosed rear garden provides private outdoor space for children, pets and entertaining.
The layout suits family routines and flexible living — separate reception rooms for living and dining, and three bedrooms upstairs. Off-street parking makes village life easier, and the location is peaceful with very low crime and direct access to countryside walks and a local pub. Sherborne’s shops, schools and transport links are within easy reach for commuting or schooling.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so some owners may want to upgrade heating and windows for efficiency and comfort. There is a single bathroom and broadband speeds are average, which could matter for heavy home-working. The house dates from the late 1960s–1970s, so while much improved, some systems and finishes may need modernisation over time.
Overall this home will suit buyers seeking a roomy, characterful house in a quiet village setting — particularly families who value outdoor space and good local schools — and buyers prepared to invest in heating, window or cosmetic upgrades to personalise the property.
