PRETTY VILLAGE CENTRE LOCATION - A VERY SHORT WALK TO THE VILLAGE SHOP AND PUB. 'Waverlawns End' is a simply stunning natural stone, attached barn conversion set in the heart of the picturesque Dorset village of Thornford. This amazing home offers no end of light, spacious accommodation (2332 square feet) and lovely character features. These features include exposed heavy beam work and internal stone elevations, vaulted and part-vaulted ceilings and a cast iron log burning stove. The property has been beautifully finished and presented with period-style uPVC double glazing and recently upgraded electric heating and electric water heater. The barn conversion is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet is situated in a conservation area, protecting the characterful heart of this ever-popular village centre. The property comes with two allocated parking spaces at the rear as well as a shared visitors parking facility. There is a lovely, south-facing, landscaped garden at the rear offering good privacy and a backdrop onto views over fields and hills. The deceptively spacious, flexible accommodation comprises entrance porch, entrance reception hall, sitting room (21'7 x 16'2), open-plan kitchen breakfast room (16'6 x 14'6), dining room/garden room (15'10 x 9'6), study/ground floor bedroom four, inner hall and downstairs WC.

On the second floor is another landing area and a large third double bedroom enjoying superb countryside views and an en-suite bathroom. This wonderful home is situated set-back from the road in the centre of the sought-after village of Thornford in Dorset - only a very short drive to both Sherborne and Yeovil town. Thornford village is one of the closest villages to Sherborne town. It is incredibly sought-after and properties of this nature very rarely come to the open market. Thornford offers a superb public house, primary school rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, village store and post office, village hall, parish church and its own cricket club. All of these amenities are within walking distance of the property. In addition Thornford station is situated on the Weymouth to Bristol line which includes Bath and links to the Midlands and North. 'Waverlawns End'  is within a very short driving distance of Sherborne Town with its world-famous schools, breath-taking Abbey building, coveted High Street and market square and mainline railway station making London Waterloo directly accessible in just over two hours without changing your seat! This property is ideal for aspiring family buyers or couples looking for somewhere pleasant to settle in this exceptional area. It also may appeal to the pied-a-terre, second home market or letting / holiday letting market from cash buyers moving from the South East linked with the excellent local schools.
