West Dene, Bradford Road, Sherborne, DT9 6BP

A spacious and versatile four bedroom detached property with double garage and workshop, all set within a landscaped half acre garden in one of Sherborne's best tree lined residential roads.

West Dene has double fronted brick elevations under a tiled roof.

It was individually built to a very high standard in the 1960's and in more recent years has undergone a comprehensive programme of restoration, extension, modernisation and re-fitting, the result being an outstanding house incorporating a blend of art deco, mid 20th Century and contemporary living.

A particularly attractive theme which runs through the whole house is that of the original restored floors, architraves, doors, window sills and staircase which for the most part are of oak, this feature gives a warmth and quality to the interior using materials that would be hard to replicate at current day prices.

All rooms are dual aspect and filled with natural light, with the sitting room and kitchen/diner being triple aspect.

Attention to detail is illustrated by way of the refurbishment of the original skirting radiators which serve the principal reception rooms and bedrooms, served by a new boiler and water cylinder.

All of this blends with art deco style fittings and sanitary ware and a kitchen breakfast room which befits 21st Century living.

The beautiful accommodation comprises entrance reception greeting hall, sitting room, dining room, 'wow-factor' contemporary open plan kitchen/ breakfast room and utility room.

One of the bedrooms is located on the ground floor and served by a well fitted shower room which doubles as a cloakroom.

On the first floor there is a principal bedroom suite with its own lobby and recently fitted ensuite with panelled bath, walk in shower and bidet.

There are a further two double bedrooms and shower room on the first floor, alongside a versatile oak floored sitting room which has French casements giving on to a south facing balcony from which there are views across the town to hills and Honeycombe Woods.

West Dene lies on the west side of Sherborne on Bradford Road, one of Sherborne’s most prestigious residential roads, within walking distance of many of the town’s amenities.

These include the Abbey, a main line train station, two supermarkets and a comprehensive range of shops, public houses and restaurants.

Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil provide between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities, while the region is well known for both its public and privately-funded schools.

Stone pillars open to a good tarmac drive leading to an unusually large parking and turning area to the side of the house, in turn this gives access to a detached double garage and workshop with electric doors, its own sink with hot and cold water, power and light.

The gardens, which extend to about half an acre were professionally landscaped and further developed by present owners with an Italianate garden and wild flower meadow at the front and a formal garden with pergola, decking and water feature to the side.

Steps lead to a main sweep of lawn at the rear shaped by well stocked and colourful borders, alongside specimen trees and meandering paved pathways.

A pathway in the lawn leads to an impressive paved terrace with gothic style metal framed gazebo.

There is also a tiled terrace with central water feature flanked on either side by a seating area and planters.

Beyond this is a screened fruit and vegetable garden with Alitex greenhouse and potting shed.
