'Bramble House' is a substantial (2886 square feet), modern, extended, detached house boasting five generous double bedrooms. This rare and unique home is located in one of the most exclusive villages in this part of Dorset - with a particularly pretty heart focused around the village green and parish church. With country lane walks from the door, and yet a very short drive to Sherborne town centre and mainline railway station to London Waterloo, this property is very well positioned. It stands in stunning gardens and a level plot extending to a quarter of an acre approximately. The rear garden boasts a good degree of privacy and a sunny south-facing aspect. There is a large, private driveway providing off road parking for five cars or more. The property has lapsed planning consent to add a double garage and a large loft conversion. The property is in excellent decorative order throughout and benefits from oil-fired radiator central heating, LPG for cooking on the hob and uPVC double glazing. The house has been extended to offer flexible accommodation, with two staircases giving access to the first floor. There is ample scope to create an attached self-contained annex or holiday let, subject to the necessary planning permission. The extensive accommodation boasts excellent levels of natural light from dual aspects, large feature windows and a sunny southerly aspect at the rear.

A second staircase rises from the inner hall to the master bedroom - a huge double bedroom with en-suite shower room. This house is very close to the village pub and the pretty village centre and heart. There are countryside walks nearby the front door - ideal as you do not need to put the children of the dogs in the car!  It is a very short drive to the stunning, historic town of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street boasting cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous schools. Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West by The Times 2024. It also boasts ‘The Sherborne’ – a top class, recently opened arts and conference centre plus restaurant that is in the building of the original Sherborne House. It is also a short drive to the mainline railway station, making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours. The property is perfect for those aspiring couples or families looking for their perfect semi-rural home, buyers cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect West Country home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools.
