5 Bedroom Mid-Terraced House For Sale

VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN. '103 - 107 Newland’ is a deceptively spacious (2897 square feet), late 18th century, Grade II listed, double fronted, four double bedroom, natural stone cottage with further attached one bedroom cottage, situated in one of the best addresses in Sherborne. The property is a short walk to the town centre, Waitrose store and mainline railway station to London Waterloo. This rare and unique property boasts a generous plot and amazing, walled rear garden with summer house, extending to a fifth of an acre (0.20 acres approximately). The house is enhanced by a detached garage / workshop at the rear plus scope for off road parking, subject to the necessary planning permission. The house is enhanced by off road parking for two to three cars leading to a detached timber garage with attached store. The cottage enjoys excellent natural light with a sunny south westerly aspect at the front and many dual aspects. It retains many appealing character features including multiple natural stone fireplaces, period cast iron fireplaces on the first floor, window seats and flagstone floors. The property is heated by mains gas fired radiator central heating, a cast iron log burning stove and has some secondary double glazing and bespoke double glazing. The property boasts amazing scope to extend at the rear, subject to the necessary planning permission.

It offers superb income potential as a residential let or holiday let or a potential self-contained annex (subject to the necessary change of use). There are superb walks from nearby the front door at Purlieu Meadow, The Water Meadows and the Sherborne castles - ideal as you do not need to put the dogs or the children in the car! The property is a very short, level walk to the centre of the historic town 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 in just over two hours. 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. This property is ideal for couples or families looking for somewhere pleasant to settle in this exceptional area making the most of the decreasing mortgage rates at the moment. It also may appeal to the pied-a-terre market or letting / holiday letting market from cash buyers moving from the South East, potentially linked with the local schools.
