Rokeby is a rare, single-storey family home offering nearly 2,000 sq ft of light, flexible living on a level plot of about 0.18 acres. Large dual- and triple-aspect windows fill the sitting room, kitchen/diner and garden room with sun from east to west, while mature hedging and a paved patio provide privacy and south/east-facing outdoor space with outstanding views to Sherborne Castle and the surrounding hills.
The bungalow is well appointed with a modern Shaker-style kitchen, Kinetico water softener, uPVC double glazing and gas central heating. Practical features include driveway parking for six cars, a detached double garage and generous loft storage with a fitted window — the loft is ready for conversion subject to planning permission, offering clear scope to add more accommodation (permission not confirmed).
Practical considerations are straightforward: there is a single family bathroom and a separate cloakroom only, broadband speeds are reported slow, and the property’s cavity walls are understood to have no added insulation. Council tax is above average. The house is vacant and chain-free, making an early move possible for a buyer prepared to maintain or upgrade elements (insulation, broadband) to modern standards.
Located on the edge of the popular Fosters Field area, the home is a short walk from Sherborne’s high street, shops, cafes, schools and mainline station. For families wanting generous single-level living, a large plot and future extension potential, this property combines location, space and long-term scope in one of the South West’s most desirable towns.
