Sandford Orcas, DT9

VACANT – NO FURTHER CHAIN. Standing in huge, exquisite gardens and plot extending to nearly a quarter of an acre (0.20 acres approximately) on a charming hillside with superb views, in a pretty conservation area in the heart of this picturesque Dorset village – 6 Mitre Cottages is one to be viewed! This very pretty, natural stone, period, semi-detached cottage is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and offers tremendous scope to add extensive driveway parking and garage on the roadside area of garden, subject to the necessary planning permission. The cottage requires renovation but boasts potential for significant extension at the side and rear, subject to the necessary planning permission. Character features include exposed floorboards, flagstone floor, attractive multi pane windows and fireplace with cast iron log burning stove. The cottage is heated by modern electric night storage heaters. The impressive gardens are situated at the side and rear of the property. The top of the garden enjoys extensive views across the village to woodland and countryside beyond. The existing accommodation enjoys good levels of natural light from a sunny southerly aspect at the front. It comprises entrance hall, open-plan sitting room / dining room and kitchen / breakfast room and ground floor shower room / WC. On the first floor there is a landing area and three double bedrooms. There are excellent village and country lane walks from the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the kids or the dogs in the car! The cottage is also a very short walk to the popular village pub. The property is a very short drive 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 drive to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. VACANT.
