Neutral décor, abundant natural light and sympathetic period features combine with contemporary fittings to provide comfortable living rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, utility and study — practical for modern family life.
Upstairs there are three generous bedrooms, the principal suite benefiting from a large dressing area with fitted cupboards and an ensuite shower room. The dual-aspect principal bedroom and the south-facing garden are standout features, giving light-filled interiors and private outdoor space for children and pets. A single garage and useful storage complete the practical provisions.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed; this brings charm and character but will restrict external and some internal alterations and may complicate maintenance. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler (not on a community supply), which can mean higher running costs and periodic deliveries. Tenure is not specified in the available details.
Located in a quiet village with good schools nearby and easy access to Sherborne’s amenities, this sizable cottage suits families wanting a bright, characterful home in a peaceful rural setting. It also appeals to those seeking a secondary residence in West Dorset, provided they are comfortable with listed-building responsibilities and oil heating.
