Longburton, Sherborne, DT9

NO FURTHER CHAIN. ‘The Anchorage’ is a well presented, character, double-fronted, detached, period cottage (1749 square feet) located in a pretty Dorset village centre position, a very short walk from the popular village pub. The cottage boasts a generous level plot extending to 0.11 acres, a rear garden enclosed by natural stone walls enjoying a sunny westerly aspect. It also benefits from a private driveway providing off road parking for four to five cars leading to an attached single garage. There is a large, detached natural stone barn / workshop in the grounds. It is heated via an oil-fired radiator central heating system, two open fires and also benefits from some double glazing. This pretty period cottage is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and offers scope for extension at the rear, subject to the necessary planning permission. There are a wealth of pretty character features including exposed beams, stone and brick open fireplaces, window seats and flagstone floors. There are good levels of natural light from a nice east to west aspect. The deceptively spacious accommodation is flexible and comprises entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room / ground floor bathroom. On the first floor there is a split level landing area, three generous double bedrooms and a family shower room. This lovely home enjoys countryside walks from nearby the front door – ideal as you do not have to put the dogs and the children in the car! The house is situated in the centre of Longburton – a quaint Dorset village. It is a very short drive to the historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne’s world-famous private schools. It also has good access to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. THIS COTTAGE MUST BE VIEWED TO BE APPRECIATED!
