Tucked away on a quiet no-through road in one of Sherborne’s most prestigious residential streets, this 4-bedroom detached house offers generous family accommodation with substantial garden and detached double garage. Built in the 1980s with brick elevations and tiled roof, the home retains traditional proportions—long sitting room with bay window and sliding doors, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, utility and study—ready for a sympathetic modernisation.
The layout suits families who value space and privacy: a light first-floor landing leads to four good bedrooms, the principal with walk-in dressing room and en-suite. Outside, a large, private plot is complemented by a brick-paved drive, remote-operated double garage and well-kept lawns with mature borders and a greenhouse. Fast FTTP broadband and very low local crime add practical appeal.
Honest note on condition: the property has been well cared for but is described as needing general refurbishment and modernisation. Buyers should budget for updating kitchens, bathrooms and cosmetic work to bring systems and finishes up to contemporary standards. Council Tax sits at Band G and is relatively expensive.
This chain-free house will suit families seeking a spacious, private home near Sherborne’s amenities, or buyers looking for an investment with scope to add value through renovation. Its location, plot size and detached garage represent strong long-term assets in a very affluent area.
