Description
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this semi-detached three-bedroom barn conversion occupies a sought-after location within Sherborne. The property offers spacious accommodation throughout and benefits from a garage and an attractive courtyard garden.
The Dwelling - Offering a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive property with striking interior features, quietly positioned in a secluded setting yet within close, level walking distance of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne. Forming part of an attractive courtyard development, the barn conversion dates back to the early 1980s and features handsome stone elevations beneath a tiled roof, reflecting its characterful origins. Additional benefits include a private garage and a delightful courtyard garden that enjoys afternoon and evening sunshine.
Accommodation - The property is entered through a welcoming hallway with useful storage cupboards. The accommodation is arranged across split levels, creating flexible and characterful living spaces enhanced by excellent natural light from skylights and windows overlooking the courtyard. At the centre of the home is an impressive living room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers, and generous glazing, with the roof lights further enhancing the sense of space and light. A galleried landing overlooks the kitchen and dining area, creating a striking sense of openness and connection between the main living spaces, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen and dining area could potentially be opened up further to create a larger open-plan layout if desired. From the kitchen/dining space there is access to a substantial storage area above the entrance hall, which also features a distinctive round window above the porch.
The three bedrooms are positioned together at one end of the property and all benefit from fitted wardrobes. Two are comfortable double bedrooms, while the third is a single room that would also make an ideal home office or study. They are served by a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom. Nearby, a practical utility area provides additional storage and shelving, along with plumbing for a washing machine and space for an additional dryer and fridge/freezer.
Garden - The courtyard garden is located at the front of the property, providing a pleasant outdoor space and convenient access to a single garage offering electric.
Situation - This property is just a short walk from Sherborne's highly regarded high street, with its vibrant mix of boutique shops, artisan bakeries, cafés, restaurants, gastropubs and the popular farmers' market. The Abbey, Almshouses, the renowned Sherborne schools and the mainline station-with a direct service to London Waterloo in just over two hours-are all within easy walking distance, making this an exceptionally convenient and desirable location. Larger amenities can be found in Yeovil (5.5 miles) and Dorchester (18 miles), while excellent transport links include a faster service to Paddington from Castle Cary (12 miles) and easy access to the A303 connecting to the Home Counties.
