Description
The property is positioned to the south of the development and enjoys views across the central green. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a hallway with space for coats and an understairs storage cupboard. This seamlessly leads to the decent sized living and dining room, with attractive bay windows and glazed door to the outside. The private and sheltered garden has a paved patio space, perfect for outside entertaining or evening drinks. Access can also be gained to the front of the property.
The kitchen has a range of wooden wall and base units under a laminate surface with a freestanding electric oven and hob with extractor over and space and connection for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. The downstairs cloakroom has space for a shower to be installed should one desire.
Stairs then rise to an open landing off which lie two double bedrooms with large windows and built in storage. The principal bedroom is situated to the rear of the property, with views over pretty gardens of neighbouring houses. The third bedroom has space for a single bed or could be ideal as a study. The bathroom is opposite with a small airing cupboard with a combi-boiler.
OUTSIDE
A path leads you under mature trees to a front door which is surrounded by evergreen shrubs. Being an end of terrace property brings the bonus of a large and private walled outdoor space which surrounds the house. Opposite the front door is an uninterrupted view of the well-maintained St Swithin’s lawns and established trees with residents parking conveniently positioned close to the house. There is also a single garage in a block nearby.
The low maintenance garden, mainly laid to paving and gravel, is sheltered by a stone wall and timber fencing, with a few well-established plants providing some foliage whilst mature trees and shrubs bring evergreen colour all year round. For convenience there is an outside tap and some storage sheds to the rear of the property.
All things considered, this is a property with enormous potential in a most desirable location, perfect for those wishing to take advantage of the culture of this desirable Abbey town.
LOCATION
St Swithin’s is a perfectly positioned low density development in the heart of Sherborne. Dominated by its ancient Abbey and school, Sherborne is arguably the most attractive town in Dorset. Numerous musical and cultural events occur throughout the year and there is a superb range of traditional shops and boutiques. The two castles - one of which was home to Sir Walter Raleigh - reflect the historic nature of the town, the centre of which is designated a Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to preserve its special character.
West Dorset is well known for its unspoilt landscape and there are many pretty villages and countryside walks nearby. The Jurassic Coast is a mere twenty miles away at Weymouth. This stretch of coastline, from Portland to Lyme Regis, with its spectacular cliffs, has recently been designated a World Heritage Site.
Communications to this part of the country are excellent. From Sherborne there is a regular train service to Waterloo in about 2 hours 25 minutes; the station is within walking distance. The A303 (linking with the M3) is a dual carriageway almost the whole way to the M3, thus putting London within a reasonable drive.
SPORTING AND RECREATION
The area is well known for its beauty and there is a network of bridleways and footpaths which cross the countryside, making it ideal for walking, bicycling, and riding. Water sports at Sutton Bingham Reservoir (near Yeovil) or on the south coast. Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury, Bath, or Exeter. Golf at various courses including Yeovil, Sherborne, and Dorchester.
EDUCATION
The area is noted for its independent schools, with Leweston, Sherborne Boys’ and Sherborne Girls’ Schools, Sherborne Prep, Perrott Hill, Hazlegrove, Port Regis and Millfield all within easy reach. The Gryphon secondary school is highly rated and is close by.
