A Grade II listed four-bedroom stone cottage in Sherborne, offered with no onward chain, combines period character with practical family living. Two reception rooms, a modern cottage-style kitchen and downstairs shower room provide comfortable daily living, while four first-floor bedrooms and a separate bathroom suit growing families or multi-use households. The property is compact (approx. 879 sq ft) so rooms feel cosy rather than expansive.
The south-facing walled garden is a standout: mature fruit trees, a mulberry and Ginkgo Biloba create a private, sheltered outdoor room for sun and gardening. The cottage sits at the end of a terrace in a quiet lane close to Sherborne’s amenities, schools and rail links, making it convenient for commuting and local life.
Buyers should note the listed status will bring constraints and additional costs for alterations or repairs; this can complicate extensions or modernisation. Broadband speeds are slow, heating relies on storage heaters and there is a small overall footprint — all factors to consider if home working, extensive renovation or space are priorities.
This house will suit a buyer seeking period charm and a central, walkable Sherborne location who accepts the maintenance and planning realities of a listed cottage. With no chain it’s ready for a buyer to move in, refurbish sympathetically or keep as a character-filled family home.
