The Knapp, Charlton Horethorne, Sherborne, DT9

‘Laurel Cottage’ is a very pretty, quintessential, period, stone, double-fronted, Grade II listed end-of-terrace cottage situated in a highly sought-after address amongst other attractive period properties, a short walk to the heart of the village, the village shop and a top village pub/restaurant. This cottage dates back to 1865 and is a former workers cottage built by Sherborne Castle Estates. This beautifully finished character cottage has been the subject of much recent, sympathetic refurbishment and retains many character features including period multi-pane windows and fireplace with cast iron log burning stove. This sweet home is heated via electric heaters and electric under floor heating. It also boasts secondary double glazing. There are three substantial portions of gardens surrounded by traditional dry stone walling. At the front is a south-facing lawned garden and seating area providing quite the sun trap. Situated at the rear and side of the property, elevated away from the back of the cottage are two further areas of lawn and vegetable gardens. The cottage also boasts a natural stone outhouse currently used as a store room and utility room/ wash house. It has an attached log store. However, this outhouse offers scope for further accommodation or a perfect work-from-home office space (subject to the necessary planning permission). The well laid out accommodation comprises entrance porch, sitting room, kitchen / dining room and rear lobby. On the first floor, there is a landing area, two generous bedrooms and a family shower room (formerly incorporating a bath). There is free, unrestricted parking on the country lane at the front. There are fantastic countryside walks just steps from the front door. THIS EXQUISITE COTTAGE MUST BE VIEWED TO BE APPRECIATED.
