Holwell, Sherborne, Dorset DT9

Situated in the heart of the Blackmore Vale countryside, this substantial detached three-bedroom property offers well-proportioned accommodation across two floors. While it would benefit from modernisation, the house provides a solid foundation with generous living spaces, a large south-facing garden, and excellent potential throughout. With all the key elements already in place, it presents a fantastic opportunity to create a wonderful home in a desirable rural setting.

The Dwelling

Set in the heart of a sought-after village, this detached three-bedroom property offers spacious accommodation across two floors. Extending to approximately 2,207 sq ft, the house provides flexible living spaces and three well-proportioned bedrooms. While in need of modernisation, the property sits on a generous plot, enjoys pleasant views, and represents a rare opportunity to enhance an already substantial property in a desirable village setting.

The living room features French doors that lead into the conservatory, providing an additional reception space. The kitchen, designed to cater to all culinary needs, is fitted with solid wood cabinetry and offers ample space for a dining table or breakfast area. From the kitchen, a utility room provides space for white goods and includes an internal door to the double garage, as well as external access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the spacious landing includes built-in storage and leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys the use of an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Garden

The beautifully positioned south facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a paved patio area adjoining the rear of the house. Mature hedging encloses the garden, complemented by established flower beds, shrubbery, and a charming water feature.
