Longburton, Sherborne, DT9

A privately positioned, three bedroom detached home positioned in approximately a third of an acre with double garage.




Silver Birches was built in the late 1950’s of brick elevations under a tiled roof, with a later ground floor extension built in the mid 1980’s. The result is a well-proportioned home with a host of versatile living accommodation and many of its original features. In summary the accommodation comprises entrance hallway, cloakroom, fitted kitchen/breakfast room leading to garden room extension, sitting room with woodburner, internal lobby and study/ground floor bedroom. The first floor offers three bedrooms, two of double proportions, served by a tastefully updated family bathroom.  

Agent Note: Some structural movement was evident to the ground floor extension approximately 10 years ago. Repairs have been made by the vendor and no movement has been noted since.
