A fabulous house of over 3000 sq ft with period origins and superb contemporary extension with stunning far-reaching views to the west over surrounding countryside.
The Dwelling
White Roses occupies a fabulous elevated and secluded, rural position with glorious countryside views on the north western edge of the Leweston School grounds. The house which dates back to 1810 has spacious accommodation arranged over two floors and an appealing mix of character, period charm, together with a striking and substantial contemporary single storey extension. The house was recently rendered with Nano silicone render with 110-120mm external insulation added in 2024 with cement board.

Ground floor - Hall, sitting room, office, Kitchen/dining/living room, cloakroom.

Outside
The property is found at the end of a long drive in the grounds of Leweston School. Outside are circa 1.36 acres of landscaped gardens that wrap around the house, together with a private drive, parking and a useful barn with potential for conversion (subject to the necessary consents).
Situation
White Roses sits at the end of the Leweston School drive and is very private and secure. The school offers a range of facilities for residents including a cafe, use of the swimming pool and many social events. The house looks out at the village of Lillington which has a pretty Church and excellent community. About 1.6 miles away lies the village of Longburton with The Rose and Crown pub and the pretty Church of St James. The village offers a strong community spirit with a pub, village hall, and parish church. Just four miles south of Sherborne, Longburton benefits from easy access to the town’s excellent amenities, including independent shops, supermarkets and well-regarded private schools. Sherborne also offers a direct train service to London Waterloo (2.5 hours), with a faster route to Paddington from Castle Cary (90 minutes).
