Blackford Way, Charlton Horethorne, Sherborne, DT9

‘Abbots Cottage’ is a substantial (2952 square feet), modern, natural stone, period-style house offering deceptively spacious four double bedroom accommodation over four floors. This rare and unique property is located in one of the best villages in this area, on the borders or Somerset and Dorset and a short drive to nearby Sherborne and Wincanton. The house is in impeccable order throughout with many character features including exposed heavy oak beams, oak latch doors, oak floors and a large feature fireplace. The house is heated by an oil-fired radiator central heating system and benefits from period-style uPVC double glazing. There is a large double garage with attached workshop plus further parking for two to three cars. The gardens are situated at the rear and side of the property and are beautifully landscaped and designed. The rear terrace boasts a sunny south-facing aspect. The surprisingly spacious accommodation is well-arranged and enjoys excellent levels of natural light from dual and triple aspects. It comprises large entrance porch / boot room, large reception hall, huge open-plan farmhouse kitchen dining room, utility room and ground floor WC / cloakroom. On the first floor there is a landing area, stunning sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed oak rafters, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room. On the second floor, there is a landing area, fourth double bedroom / office with en-suite bathroom. On the lower ground floor there is another hallway, two further double bedrooms both serviced by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. There is also a large store room on the lower ground floor that could easily be converted to a kitchenette, allowing the whole lower ground floor to be converted to a granny flat or annex, subject to the necessary planning permission. The property is located in a fantastic residential address, a short walk to the pretty village centre, village pub and shop.
