3 bed terraced house for sale

Longford Road, Thornford, Sherborne, Dorset DT9

A three-bedroom, terraced Grade II listed cottage providing opportunity for renovation, with an attached barn and generous plot.

Coming to the market for the first time in over forty-five years, this Grade II listed village home offers a rare chance to restore a traditional Dorset property to its former charm. The house features stone elevations, gable dormers, and a later Victorian extension, giving it plenty of character, but it now requires a full programme of renovation.
Inside, the layout includes two well-proportioned reception rooms, both with appealing period features such as fireplaces, flagstone flooring, and a south-facing bay window that brings in good natural light. The kitchen and ground-floor bathroom are functional but dated, and buyers will likely look to reconfigure and modernise these spaces.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms with scope to adapt the layout-potentially incorporating a first-floor bathroom, subject to the necessary consents. The rooms are a good size and offer flexibility for redesign.
Attached to the property is a generous storage barn with both ground-floor and first-floor space. This outbuilding provides excellent workshop or storage use in its current form and may offer the opportunity for conversion, again subject to planning and listed building requirements.

The property lies to the centre of the popular village of Thornford that has an unusual number of amenities including a church, a village hall, a public house, a primary school and a good shop while both the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil lie within short motoring distance providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with many walks to be enjoyed from the village itself while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Communication links are good with train halt on the Bristol to Weymouth line to the west of the village with a main line station linking directly with London Waterloo and road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

The garden extends to a good length and includes areas of lawn, former vegetable plots, and a variety of established trees. Although overgrown in places, it offers a lovely backdrop and the chance to create a more defined outdoor environment over time.
This is very much a project property, ideal for someone looking to take on a substantial renovation and create a home tailored to their own taste. With its period details, attached barn, and generous plot, it offers a rewarding opportunity in a sought-after village setting.
