Description
Fully renovated in recent years, this beautifully presented semi-detached cottage retains many of its original character features while offering the benefits of modern living. Thoughtfully extended, the property provides spacious open-plan living accommodation complemented by three well-appointed bedrooms.
The Dwelling - Set beneath a tiled roof with attractive brick elevations, this semi-detached cottage was comprehensively renovated in 2019 to create deceptively spacious accommodation. The renovation has introduced modern conveniences while remaining sympathetic to the character and charm of the original cottage.
Thoughtfully extended at the rear, the property now offers stylish open-plan living, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor providing a warm and comfortable environment. A third bedroom has also been cleverly created within the converted loft space.
Accommodation - Upon entering through the front porch, the living room immediately showcases the property's character and charm, featuring exposed beams and a striking inglenook fireplace that forms the focal point of the room. To the rear, the open-plan kitchen and dining area has been designed with both style and practicality in mind, with solid wood cabinetry, paired with integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen, the generous dining area offers ample space for entertaining and is enhanced by bi-fold doors that open directly onto the rear garden.
The first floor offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes. A modern family bathroom also sits on this level, featuring a complete suite finished to a high standard.
The second floor opens directly into the third bedroom, converted from the loft space. This bright and airy room enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and includes useful eaves storage accessed from the stairway.
Garden - The south facing rear garden is thoughtfully arranged, featuring a patio area directly adjacent to the house-ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond lies a neatly maintained lawn bordered by mature flower beds on either side.
At the far end of the garden, the oil tank is discreetly positioned, while a charming stone-built outbuilding provides a practical space with both plumbing and electricity. Currently used by the vendors for housing white goods and additional storage, it offers excellent versatility.
Situation - Bradford Abbas is a short distance from the historic Abbey town of Sherborne which offers a wide range of shops, local businesses and facilities, including a Waitrose supermarket. Other towns within driving distance include the regional centre of Yeovil (3.5 miles) and the county town of Dorchester (18 miles). Sherborne has a regular mainline service to Waterloo taking about 2.5 hours and there is a fast train service from Castle Cary (16 miles) to Paddington, which takes about 90 minutes. Bournemouth, Bristol and Exeter Airports are all easily accessible.
Bradford Abbas offers a highly regarded primary school. The neighbouring town of Sherborne also offer two prestigious primary schools within the town, all feeding to The Gryphon School for secondary education. Private schools in the area include the Sherborne schools, Leweston, Hazlegrove and the Bruton schools.
