Description

'17 Askwith Close’ is a beautifully finished, extended, modern detached house situated in a very popular residential address on the western side of Sherborne, a very short walk to local shops, nearby countryside and Sherborne town centre with mainline railway station to London Waterloo. There is a generous, level rear garden landscaped and arranged for low maintenance purposes and a private driveway parking area at the front providing off road parking for three cars. The property is heated by a mains gas-fired radiator central heating system, air conditioning on the ground and first floor and also benefits from uPVC double glazing. The property has been extended and reconfigured to provide contemporary open plan living plus new kitchen, bathroom, shower room, decoration and floor coverings. The deceptively spacious accommodation enjoys good levels of natural light and comprises entrance hall, sitting room, ‘wow-factor’ open plan kitchen / dining room, utility room and a ground floor shower room / WC. On the first floor, there is a landing area, three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. It is a short walk to nearby countryside as well – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is a short walk to the stunning, historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street boasting cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous schools. Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West by The Times 2024. It also boasts ‘The Sherborne’ – a top class, recently opened arts and conference centre plus restaurant that is in the building of the original Sherborne House. It is also a short walk to the mainline railway station, making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours.The property is perfect for those mature couples or aspiring families looking for their perfect Sherborne home, buyers cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect West Country home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools. It may also be of interest to the holiday letting or second home market. THIS EXEMPLARY HOME MUST BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED.
