" A wonderful extended three double bedroom, two bathroom period family home with further scope to convert into the loft, situated within close proximity to the beautiful Abbey town of Sherborne.


Buena Vista is believed to have been built in 1913 and is a fine example of a period home built of attractive red brick elevations with decorative hung tile cladding and large front box bay windows. In 2017 the property was significantly updated throughout and also extended to create an impressive open plan kitchen and dining space which blends seamlessly with the original part of the home and offers a perfect blend of character and contemporary living.
The property has retained some pleasing character features which include fireplaces on the ground and first floors and stripped doors. The modern part of this home has been enhanced with double height ceilings inset with skylight windows and bi fold doors flooding this area with natural light and creating an inside outside sense of living.
The kitchen dining room is a fantastic open plan space to cook, dine and entertain in and is undoubtedly the real hub of the home. The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of cupboards and drawers with matching island unit and breakfast bar. Integral appliances include a gas range and a dishwasher. The kitchen area has an exposed red brick fireplace not in use which is a really striking feature of this room and combines the old part of the house with the new.
Accessed from the hallway, a utility area has plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer and leads into a shower room which is fitted with a contemporary walk in shower, wc, basin and heated towel rail.
The sitting room has a bright dual aspect which equally provides a lovely room in the summer months or a cosy space in winter centred on the wood burning stove.
Upstairs the spacious landing offers the potential for loft conversion STTP as others in the road have achieved. There are three double bedrooms, two of which have pretty character wrought iron fireplaces. The main bedroom is particularly spacious and features an imposing box bay window flooding the bedroom with natural light and enjoying views in the distance across the town landscape and countryside beyond. The large family bathroom has been well designed with options to have either a soak in the roll top bath or a walk in shower which has a fixed glass screen and rainwater shower head and separate attachment.
