The Knapp, Charlton Horethorne, Sherborne, DT9

‘The Granary’ is a period, deceptively spacious (2145 square feet), natural stone barn conversion situated in a coveted address, a very short walk to the heart of this prestigious village on the Somerset/ Dorset borders. It is only a short drive to Sherborne town centre and mainline railway station to London Waterloo (in just over 2 hours directly). The property benefits from a large, level rear garden and generous plot extending to just under a quarter of an acre (0.22 acres approximately). The main garden offers a good degree of privacy, a westerly aspect and stunning countryside views. The garden benefits from a timber cabin / workshop, summer house and various sheds. There is private driveway parking for two to three cars plus an integral garage / workshop. The property is well presented and benefits from oil fired radiator central heating, uPVC double glazing and a cast iron log burning stove. This intriguing stone building was originally a granary with cart house and stables below until, in the mid 1980s, it was converted into a dwelling. The spacious, flexible accommodation is arranged over three floors and comprises ground floor entrance hall, self-contained ground floor studio flat with kitchenette and en-suite shower room. On the first floor there is a landing area, sitting room with excellent countryside views, triple aspect and a stone fireplace, open-plan kitchen/dining room and porch / entrance hall with vaulted ceiling. On the second floor, there is landing area, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. It is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing. There are superb countryside walks from the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! The property is very near the beating heart of this pretty, exclusive village. The village offers The Kings Arms, an award winning superb public house hotel offering great food and ambience.
