House For Sale £285,000
VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN. STUNNING COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS AT THE REAR! 6 Quarry Lane is a deceptively spacious, semi-detached, mature house situated in a very popular cul-de-sac address only moments from the village centre, village pub and parish church. It is a very short drive to Sherborne town centre and mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property stands in a plot and level gardens extending to approximately 0.15 acres and offers tremendous scope for extension at the side and rear of the house, subject to the necessary planning permission. It may even offer the potential for a separate building plot at the side for a small detached dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consent. The house requires general modernisation throughout. The rear garden backs on to fields and enjoys extensive countryside views and a sunny south-easterly aspect. There is a large driveway area providing parking for three to four cars leading to a detached garage and outbuildings. The house has oil-fired radiator central heating and has uPVC double glazing. The house boasts great space and natural light from a sunny aspect at the rear. There are great countryside dog walks from nearby the front door. The well laid out accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, sitting room, open plan kitchen / dining room with larder cupboard and ground floor cloakroom / WC. On the first floor is a landing area, three generous bedrooms – the rear enjoying incredible countryside views - and a first floor family bathroom. The village of Longburton is one of the closest villages to the prestigious, historic Dorset town of Sherborne and boasts a church and a nice, country public house - both within walking distance of this property. This property is only a very short drive to the popular, picturesque town centre of Sherborne with its coveted high street, buzzing, popular out-and-about culture, boutique stores, organic bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, gastro-pubs and farmers market. Sherborne also boasts the breath-taking Sherborne Abbey building, Alms Houses and world-famous Sherborne private schools. It also has the mainline railway station in the centre of the town, making London Waterloo in just over two hours without changing your seat. The property is perfect for those aspiring families or couples looking for the ideal village lifestyle, couples cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect West Country home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools. It may also be of interest to the pied-a-terre market. VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN.
