The Mouseprice Value Guide tells you how the asking price of a property compares to the market price of other properties with similar attributes including property type, location and floor area. Note that some aspects of a property are not considered by the Value Guide such as the condition and home improvements so it is important you do your own research.

Description

"Incredibly rare to the market, this attractive cottage with origins stretching back to at least the 17th century, forms part of a small, exclusive development of three conversions which will be sensitively completed on Abbey Close by a highly regarded developer and builder team. Built from local honey coloured stone under a slate roof, the property is rightly Grade II listed for architectural and historic merit and sits in a conservation area, which serves to protect the integrity of this most iconic part of the town. Whilst work is currently underway and will be completed to a standard specification, including a handmade kitchen from Christchurch Ltd, early interest will afford the privilege of being involved in the selected finishes of the property, subject to an agreed cost variation. The finalised buyer specification and property price will form part of the sales pack within the contract of sale. Therefore, at the early stages the finish of the interior can be personalised to how the buyer wants.
The finished house will be set over two floors; on the ground floor, there will be an open plan sitting room kitchen and bedroom with ensuite shower room with direct access to the lovely private garden, along with a cloakroom and further doors to the garden. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with views of the Abbey and a family bathroom. This will make an exceptional and very pretty primary or secondary residence in a truly wonderful setting.

LOCATION
Melmoth House is centrally positioned within easy reach of the plentiful amenities Sherborne has to offer. Dominated by its ancient Abbey and school, Sherborne is arguably one of the most attractive towns in Dorset. Numerous musical and cultural events occur throughout the year and there is a superb range of traditional shops and boutiques. The two castles one of which was home to Sir Walter Raleigh reflect the historic nature of the town, the centre of which is a designated Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to preserve its special character. West Dorset is well known for its unspoilt landscape and there are many pretty villages and countryside walks nearby. The Jurassic coast is a mere twenty miles away at Weymouth. Communications to this part of the country are excellent. From Sherborne there is a regular train service to London Waterloo in about 2 hours 15 minutes; Sherborne station is within walking distance. The nearby A303 dual carriageway, linking with the M3, puts London within easy reach.

SPORTING AND RECREATION
Racing at Wincanton. Golf at Sherborne and Yeovil. Sherborne Abbey holds regular concerts and recitals. The Newt country estate and hotel is nearby. Hauser and Wirth in Bruton and The Sherborne in Sherborne for the arts. Theatres at Salisbury, Yeovil and Bath within an hour . Numerous footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes make the area ideal for walking, cycling and riding.

EDUCATION
The area is particularly noted for the high quality of its schools. Sherborne Prep, Hazlegrove and Port Regis are all within reach, as the Sherborne Schools Group, The Gryphon, Leweston, Millfield and the Bruton schools.
