About this property
3 Bedrooms
Private Plot
Peaceful Location
No Onward Chain
A well maintained three bedroom detached bungalow, peacefully located in the very heart of Sherborne. Generous partly walled garden, detached garage and parking. No Onward Chain.
Discreetly positioned in a peaceful and private setting right in the centre of Sherborne, 5 Pageant Drive offers a unique blend of convenience and seclusion. The property was built in 1965 with reconstituted stone elevations under a tiled roof. Just a short stroll from the high street, train station and Sainsbury’s supermarket, this charming and recently upgraded bungalow is ideally positioned while enjoying the tranquillity of mature partly walled gardens, off-road parking, and a garage.
In recent years the property has enjoyed some key upgrades to include a contemporary bathroom suite, flooring, boiler, fuse board and tasteful sitting room double ceiling height extension. The property presents an exciting opportunity to reside in a well presented and comfortable three-bedroom home in a prime location.
A welcoming entrance porch provides access to a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, and leads directly into the bright and spacious sitting room. This delightful living space enjoys an abundance of natural light through large patio doors, which open onto the beautifully kept South East-facing garden. On sunny days, the room is filled with warmth and light, creating a truly inviting atmosphere. Equally in the colder months, time can be spent by the attractive polished stone fireplace with wood burner inset. From the sitting room, a door leads into the kitchen/dining room, a generous space fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units, eye levelelectric double oven, hob and provision for white goods. A rear door opens to the North West-facing patio garden, offering an additional private outdoor space.
An inner hallway connects all three bedrooms and the recently fitted family bathroom. All three bedrooms are of good proportions, the principal bedroom is a spacious double overlooking the South East garden, perfect for enjoying morning light.

To the front, a private driveway offers parking for one vehicle and access to a single garage. Pathways lead to both sides of the property, connecting the front to two distinct garden areas. The South East-facing garden is mainly laid to lawn with a raised patio adjoining the house. Mature trees and shrubs create a high level of privacy, making this a perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining. To the other side of the bungalow is a secluded patio garden, the remnants of the old kitchen, boiler house, a large ‘King of the Pippins’ apple tree, a brick-built workshop/garden store, greenhouse, and a raised vegetable bed—ideal for those with green fingers. The garden continues behind the garage, where a gravelled area and double gates provide an alternative access point onto the road.
