The Dwelling

This charming two-bedroom period cottage offers an appealing combination of historic character and contemporary comfort. The property has been comprehensively renovated during 2025, creating a turn-key home whilst retaining many of the features that give the property its individual charm.

Accommodation

The ground floor is centred around a particularly attractive sitting/dining room, featuring an original flagstone floor, a Dorset oak beam above an original fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove. The fireback behind the stove is dated 1662 and is believed to have originated from Sherborne Castle, providing a fascinating connection with the town's history.

A new, efficient gas combi boiler is also located within the kitchen. The ground floor further benefits from excellent storage, including a useful understairs cupboard.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the front bedroom retaining a Victorian feature fireplace. The second bedroom benefits from a large airing cupboard, while the landing provides access to the loft via a pull-down ladder. The loft is lit and boarded, offering useful additional storage

The newly installed bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes a dual-fuel towel radiator.
