Set on a level plot just under half an acre, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers 3,620 sq ft of flexible family living on the edge of Bradford Abbas. South-facing reception rooms and large bay windows flood principal rooms with light and frame wide countryside views — ideal for anyone seeking space, privacy and a strong connection to the outdoors.
The layout includes five double bedrooms, five reception rooms and generous utility and kitchen/family areas. The principal suite has a dressing room and a high-spec bathroom with spa shower area; other bedrooms are large and two share a generous Jack-and-Jill ensuite. Ground-floor rooms include a large sitting room with two fireplaces and a sunroom with wood burner opening onto the terrace.
The property is vacant and chain-free, with driveway parking for four to five cars and gated access to the gardens. It requires finishing and some updating throughout — this is a substantial home with excellent potential for modernisation and personalisation rather than a turnkey purchase. Heating is oil-fired with some double glazing present.
Nearby village amenities, a popular primary school and country lanes are within walking distance, while Sherborne’s shops, schools and station are a short drive away. For families wanting room to grow, extensive outdoor space and scope to improve, this is a rare semi-rural opportunity.
