Longburton, DT9

DETACHED PERIOD HOME WITH FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS! ‘Patches’ is a handsome, double-fronted, deceptively spacious (2159 square feet), detached, period house situated on the corner of one of the best addresses in this pretty Dorset village. The property occupies a generous plot and lovely landscaped gardens extending to just under a fifth of an acre (0.18 acres approximately). The rear garden boasts a sunny southerly aspect. The house has private driveway parking providing off road parking for three cars, leading to a large, attached one-and-a-half size garage / workshop with loft area above. It is only a very short walk to the popular village pub, church and also lovely countryside walks from the door. It is also a very short drive to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo and the centre of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne. The house is in excellent decorative order throughout, sympathetically retaining many original character features including flagstone floors, excellent ceiling heights, large sash windows and much more. However, it is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing. It benefits from oil-fired radiator central heating and bespoke period-style double glazing. The well laid out accommodation is deceptively spacious and boasts good levels of natural light due to a sunny southerly aspect at the rear. It comprises entrance hall area and snug, drawing room, dining room, open plan kitchen breakfast room, utility room and ground floor WC / Cloakroom. On the first floor, there is a landing area, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The flexible accommodation offers scope to reconfigure and convert, subject to the necessary planning permission. The picturesque abbey town centre of Sherborne is only a short drive away with a coveted boutique high street and bustling out and about culture, markets, cafes, Waitrose store, restaurants, world famous private schools etc.
