Charming Grade II stone cottage with private courtyard and versatile outbuilding.
Grade II Listed period cottage with original fireplaces and window seats
Located in the heart of historic Sherborne, this Grade II Listed stone cottage blends authentic period features with practical living over two floors. The living room and dining room retain original inglenook fireplaces, exposed brick and window seats that create charm and natural light. A recent Worcester Bosch boiler and ultrafast broadband add modern convenience to the characterful interior.
The property is well suited to a couple or someone downsizing who values central location and low-external-maintenance outdoor space. The private courtyard garden is arranged over two patios with mature planting and a versatile refurbished stone outbuilding, now insulated and electrified, offering potential as a home office or hobby room (subject to permissions).
Prospective buyers should be aware this is a Grade II Listed house within a conservation area; any significant alterations are likely to require consent and will present constraints. The property shares a passageway and grants the neighbour a right of access across the garden. Interior decor is dated in places and would benefit from refreshing to fully realise the cottage’s potential.
Practical positives include gas central heating, mains services, low council tax (Band B), fast mobile and ultrafast broadband, and convenient access to Sherborne’s shops, schools and transport links. For buyers looking for period character with sensible running costs and a ready-to-use outbuilding, this offers strong appeal with manageable limitations.
