Description

Stylish Detached Chalet Bungalow with Breathtaking Views - Extended & Renovated to an Exceptional Standard

Positioned on the peaceful outskirts of Sherborne and enjoying far-reaching views across the idyllic Digby Estate, this impressive detached chalet bungalow combines architectural sophistication with smart technology and modern living. Lovingly extended in 2020 and recently renovated throughout, the property offers a seamless blend of contemporary comfort and countryside charm.

Upon entering, you are immediately drawn to the stunning panoramic views that define the rear aspect of the home. The welcoming entrance hall, complete with solid wood flooring, flows effortlessly into the show-stopping open-plan kitchen, dining and living space - a truly breathtaking extension designed to take full advantage of the surrounding landscape. Full-width bi-fold doors frame uninterrupted views and flood the space with natural light, while underfloor heating adds year-round comfort.

The bespoke kitchen is a highlight, featuring sleek Quartz worktops and matching splashbacks, a central island with breakfast bar, and high-spec integrated appliances. A separate utility room off the kitchen adds functionality without compromising style.

To the front of the property, a second reception room provides a cosy retreat - perfect for relaxing on winter evenings - while a generously sized bedroom also enjoys a front aspect. Two additional ground-floor rooms offer flexible use as further bedrooms, guest accommodation, or ideal home offices. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the ground floor, with both a bathtub and spacious walk-in shower.

Upstairs, the first-floor accommodation continues to impress. A comfortable double bedroom sits to the front, ideal for guests. To the rear, the principal bedroom is a true sanctuary - boasting floor-to-ceiling glazing that perfectly frames the spectacular countryside views, along with integrated air conditioning for added comfort. A separate shower room and WC on this level add further convenience.

Outdoor Living & Garden

The quality continues outdoors. A paved terrace offers the perfect spot for al fresco dining or relaxing in the hot tub, with steps leading up to a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature flower beds. There is an automated watering system in the garden with a second seating area at the rear of the garden provides an ideal space to enjoy the evening sun, all enclosed by a charming stone wall that maintains uninterrupted views beyond.

To the front, a large driveway offers ample off-road parking, with side access and gates providing additional secure parking if required.

Location

While this home enjoys a tranquil rural setting, Coleford is walking distance from the desirable market town of Sherborne.

The town is well-regarded for its educational facilities, with excellent local primary schools feeding into The Gryphon Secondary School, and a choice of esteemed independent schools nearby including Sherborne, Leweston, Port Regis, Hazelgrove, and Bruton.
