Property details
NO FURTHER CHAIN. ‘4 Hillside Cottages’ is an attractive, period, natural stone, semi-detached cottage set in a sought-after village centre address within walking distance to the popular village pub and surrounding countryside. The cottage is a very short drive to the historic centre of Sherborne town and the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The cottage stands in a substantial plot and gardens extending to nearly a quarter of an acre. The cottage is in an elevated hillside position boasting some lovely views over the valley and surrounding countryside. There is ample off road driveway parking. The property is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and offers tremendous scope for extension, redevelopment and further build, subject to the necessary planning consent. The cottage requires updating but benefits from electric heating and a log burning stove. The existing accommodation comprises entrance hall, kitchen / breakfast room, sitting room, rear lobby and ground floor bathroom. On the first floor, there is a landing area and three double bedrooms enjoying some lovely views. 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 short walking distance 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. 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. NO FURTHER CHAIN
