A VERY RARE AND UNIQUE TOWN CENTRE HOUSE WITH HUGE GARDEN EXTENDING TO A THIRD OF AN ACRE. 'Hideaway House' is a simply lovely, vast (2599 square feet), linked, period, natural stone town house situated in a fantastic tucked away residential address in the beating heart of Sherborne Town Centre and Market Square. The property is rare and unique, offering arguably one of the largest walled gardens in the town centre with the gardens and plot extending to approximately a third of an acre. The main garden measures 102' x 74' approximately. There is a private driveway at the front of the house leading to an integral triple garage / workshop. The garage has planning permission passed to create a self-contained annex / granny flat. The house enjoys stunning views of Sherborne Abbey. Although being in a conservation area, the property is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing. The property is beautifully presented and retains many original character features including vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The house is heated by mains gas fired radiator central heating and also boasts bespoke oak double glazing. The flexible and spacious accommodation enjoys great levels of natural light and is arranged over three floors. It comprises entrance reception hall with integral access to the triple garage, ground floor office / double bedroom four, further ground floor double bedroom three, ground floor shower room / WC and utility room. On the first floor there is a large landing, exceptionally large sitting room / dining room with vaulted ceiling and exposed rafters, double glazed tri-folding doors lead on to first floor sun terrace overlooking the main garden, kitchen / dining room, first floor double bedroom two and first floor cloakroom / WC. On the second floor there is a huge master double bedroom enjoying a light dual aspect and views to Sherborne Abbey, an en-suite bathroom. The property is tucked away in a special, hidden location accessed via an archway off Cheap Street, in the fabulous heart of the town centre and market square. The property is located on the doorstep of the coveted high street with its buzzing, popular out-and-about culture, boutique stores, organic bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, gastro-pubs and farmers market. Sherborne also boasts the breathtaking Sherborne Abbey building, Alms Houses, two historic castles and world-famous Sherborne private schools. It is also a very short, level walk to 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 buyers looking for the ideal Sherborne lifestyle or cash buyers moving from the South East or villages and 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, buy-to-let or holiday letting markets. THIS PROPERTY IS EXTREMELY RARE AND MUST BE VIEWED TO BE APPRECIATED. Please note: The owners of this property are also selling The Yard House next door for £650,000. This is a period stone residence currently split in two holiday cottages. This is available to be purchase separately. Please speak to the selling agent for more details.
