2 bed terraced house for sale

Newtown, Milborne Port, Sherborne, Somerset DT9

A deceptively spacious and charming two bedroom character cottage with brand new front thatch, off street parking space and pretty enclosed rear garden. No Onward Chain.

A delightful double fronted Grade II listed cottage built of handsome stone elevations under a thatched roof. The property has been lovingly restored by the current vendors with a real eye for maintaining and creating distinctive features and using traditional techniques and materials, such as lime based mortar and plaster which are sympathetic with the original build and significantly improve the fabric of the property. Works have also just been completed on a new front thatch and pretty wooden framed windows were installed last year. The cottage has beautiful character features throughout, which include wooden ceiling beams, exposed stone walls, flagstone floors, deep window sills and fireplaces. The main living space is surprisingly spacious and versatile with aspects to the front and rear. Real features of this room are the flagstone floor and bespoke wooden staircase with intricate carving. The sitting room has a wonderful cosy feel with handsome fireplace, striking exposed stone features and window seat. The kitchen is fitted with painted cupboards and drawers with matching wall panelling and shelving. There is a 1 1⁄2 bowl ceramic sink and a ‘Stoves’ gas hob and oven and within the kitchen there is space for a slimline dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer. The sunroom has a lovely garden outlook with floor to ceiling windows and door to rear garden and provides a useful space for storage.
Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring exposed stone wall, stripped floor boards, raised clawfoot bath and a large walk in shower with contemporary black grid fixed shower screen and rainfall shower.
