Semi-detached house for sale in Sherborne DT9, 3 Bedroom

1 The Cross is a delightful period cottage positioned on a country lane in Bradford Abbas. It retains many character features throughout such as original wooden beams, wooden frame windows (partly double glazed) with window seats or storage underneath, exposed flagstone flooring and a beautiful brick surrounded fireplace with a wood burning stove inset that the current owners reopened when they bought the property. The cottage has the added benefit of a very good sized garden and off road parking.

Accommodation
The accommodation is laid out over two floors, on the ground floor there is a wooden framed conservatory, leading into the characterful sitting room where there is a downstairs WC, following from the sitting room is a separate dining room and a modern kitchen fitted with wall and base units, integral eye level twin oven/grill, electric hob and dishwasher. The kitchen also has space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tall fridge/freezer.

A turning staircase is tucked away in the corner of the sitting room which leads up to the lovely first floor landing, the landing leads to three bedrooms, two being doubles and a family bathroom with a large, useful airing cupboard which also houses the hot water tank.

The property also has the huge benefit of permitted planning permission for a large two storey and single storey extension with the idea in mind of extending the kitchen, creating a lobby and adding another bedroom. Search (wd/D/17/001236) on West Dorset’s planning website for more information.

Outside
The front aspect of the cottage is lovely, with painted window frames contrasting beautifully with the stone of the cottage and roses growing up the front. To the side is a gravelled parking area. A stone wall with a gate leads to the entrance and rear garden of the cottage, making it rather private and secluded. The garden is a delight, mainly laid to lawn but with a large variety of shrubbery and trees. Immediately to the rear of the cottage is an area of patio perfect for outside dining. The garden is fully enclosed by both wood panel fencing and the stone wall.
