Highmore Road, Sherborne, DT9

‘Rockleigh’ is a deceptively spacious, substantial (xxxx square feet), beautifully presented, detached, mature chalet-style house situated in a fantastic cul-de-sac address on the edge of Sherborne town overlooking fields at the rear. The property stands in the middle of a generous, level plot extending to just over a quarter of an acre (0.27 acres approximately) with large gardens situated at the rear and side, enjoying a small woodland area. There is ample driveway parking for up to four cars leading to an attached carport. The current owner has carried out extensive work to the property and has finished it to a lovely standard throughout with uPVC double glazing, new kitchen and bathrooms and gas fired radiator central heating. This pretty, deceptively spacious home offers tremendous scope for extension and addition of a garage at the side, subject to the necessary planning permission. The surprisingly spacious, highly flexible accommodation enjoys good levels of natural light from dual aspects and comprises large T-shaped entrance reception hall, sitting room, kitchen / breakfast room, garden room, utility room, and ground floor cloakroom / WC. There are three generous ground floor double bedrooms – one of which is currently used as a second sitting room – and a huge ground floor family bathroom / wet room. On the first floor, there is a landing area, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a second double bedroom. A maximum of five double bedrooms in total! There are superb countryside walks a short distance from the front door – idea as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is a short walk 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 is also a short walk to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours.
