4 bedroom detached house for sale

VERY SPACIOUS 2367 SQUARE FEET DETACHED CHARACTER THATCHED SOMERSET COTTAGE IN 0.16 ACRES! 223 Preston Road is a very pretty, period, substantial, double fronted, detached, thatched cottage built of the local, attractive honey coloured Hamstone, offering surprisingly spacious accommodation (extending to 2367 square feet and four generous double bedrooms) and occupying a generous, level plot and gardens extending to 0.16 acres that could easily be utilized as a vegetable plot or further development (subject to the necessary planning permission). It has a concrete base purposefully designed for a stable and fencing ready for a small pony to live within the property. The rear garden is wide, very usable and boasts a sunny southerly aspect. It occupies a fantastic, ‘tucked away’ position amongst other pretty period properties off a private road, a very good distance from Preston Road. The cottage is very well presented and retains many character features including exposed beams, an open fireplace, expose floorboards and some oak floors. It is heated via a mains gas fired radiator central heating system and some electric underfloor heating. The property is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and is enhanced by uPVC double glazing. It comes with enclosed, private driveway parking for two to three cars and a large, attached garage. The property has been extended and improved over the last three years and has a modern Shaker-style kitchen. The spacious accommodation enjoys good levels of natural light and comprises entrance reception hall, sitting room, conservatory, dining room, kitchen breakfast room, utility room / cupboard and former ground floor WC / washroom. On the first floor, there is a landing area, master double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, three further double bedrooms, first floor family shower room and separate first floor WC. There is a large, boarded loft / storage area. The cottage is a short walk to the main town centre and amenities. The picturesque town centre of Sherborne is a short drive away with its coveted high street, buzzing, popular out-and-about culture, boutique stores, organic bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, gastro-pubs and farmers market. Sherborne also boasts the breath-taking Sherborne Abbey building, Alms Houses and world-famous Sherborne private schools. The mainline railway stations to London Waterloo are in the centre of Sherborne and at nearby Yeovil Junction, making London directly in just over two hours. THIS TYPE OF COTTAGE IS VERY RARE TO FIND IN YEOVIL TOWN AND MUST BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED.
