About
'35 Ambrose Close’ is an exquisite, beautifully finished and extended, detached chalet-style home (1799 square feet) offering stylish, contemporary open-plan living space.
This rare and unique house is situated in a choice cul-de-sac location in this top Dorset village, enjoying extensive countryside views at the rear from the fist floor.
It is a short walk to the pretty village centre, popular pub and primary school and also only a short drive to the town centre of Sherborne and the mainline railway station to London Waterloo.
It stands in a large, level plot with lovely front and rear gardens – the rear boasting excellent privacy and a sunny south-facing aspect.
There is a private driveway providing off road parking for one car, with potential for more (subject to the necessary permission). This driveway leads to a large, detached double garage.
The house is heated by an oil-fired central heating system powering underfloor heating and radiators and also benefits from uPVC double glazing.
The current owner has extended and refurbished the property to a very stylish standard throughout including impressive, vaulted ceiling heights, replacement kitchen and bathroom plus lots more.
The property boasts spacious, flexible, sociable living accommodation and excellent levels of natural light from large feature windows, dual and triple aspects and a sunny south-facing aspect at the rear.
The deceptively spacious, flexible accommodation comprises entrance reception hall, sitting room, ‘wow-factor’ open-plan kitchen / breakfast /family room opening on to the rear garden, utility room and ground floor shower room / WC.
An inner hall leads to a ground floor double bedroom, family bathroom plus dining hall with staircase rising to the first floor.
On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms, both enjoying extensive countryside views beyond neighbouring properties. MUST BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO BE APPRECIATED!
There are lovely countryside and village centre walks from nearby the front door – ideal as you do not have to put the dogs or the children in the car!
It is also a very short walk to the popular village pub, sought after primary school and parish church.
The property is a short drive to the picturesque Abbey town centre of Sherborne with a coveted boutique high street and bustling out and about culture, markets, cafes, Waitrose store, restaurants, world famous private schools and breath-taking abbey building.
Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West by The Times 2024.
It also boasts ‘The Sherborne’ – a top class, recently opened arts and conference centre plus restaurant that is in the building of the original Sherborne House.
It is a short drive to the mainline railway station in Sherborne making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours.
