Wootton Grove, Sherborne, DT9

‘Baytree House’ has been the subject of extensive renovation and extension to create something rather special. It offers a detached double garage that is converted to a motorbike garage, home office and storeroom – ideal for working from home. There is private driveway parking for 2-3 cars. There is a generous, enclosed, east-facing lawned rear garden. This unique home is situated near the historic heart of Sherborne town in a popular residential address. It has been finished to a stylish, contemporary yet eclectic standard throughout retaining many lovely, period features including elegant ceiling heights, mouldings, cast iron period fireplace surrounds and full height bay windows. The house is heated via a gas fired radiator central heating system, electric under floor heating and also boasts double glazing. It is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing. The well-arranged, deceptively spacious accommodation enjoys a fantastic level of natural light from a sunny west-to-east aspect, large feature windows and comprises entrance reception hall, sitting room/dining room, ‘wow factor’ open-plan kitchen family room with bi-folding doors opening on to the rear garden, utility room and ground floor WC. On the first floor there is a landing/study area, two generous double bedrooms and a first floor luxury bathroom. On the second floor there is a huge third double bedroom with walk-though dressing area and en-suite shower room/WC. The house is a short walk to the historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street on the doorstep with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne’s world-famous private schools. It is also a short walk to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. Sherborne has 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.
