Located on one of the most prestigious roads in Sherborne, Arcantell was built in 1974 to exacting specifications by the owners, of reconstituted stone and tile hung elevations under a tiled roof. This is the first time the property has come to the market having been a much loved vibrant and fashionable family home of its era. The accommodation has enormous potential to provide perhaps ancillary accommodation to create the opportunity for multi-generational living, or a home office (subject to any necessary planning consents), and provides extremely flexible living accommodation in the main house allowing for complete ground floor living if so required. The grounds of the property are impressive with a sweeping front driveway, sun terraces, balcony and a pool house.
The accommodation internally is arranged with a vestibule to the front which flows through to a striking reception hall from which the ground floor living spaces lead off from. The main reception rooms connect seamlessly, and between them provide spacious and well thought out accommodation. The sitting room enjoys two sides of both glass doors and windows allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room and also gives access to a front sun terrace. A triple sliding door flows through to the dining room which has views over the rear garden and connects through to the kitchen/breakfast room which takes in views to the side and rear garden. Although the kitchen is need of modernisation, it has been very well maintained and currently has a good range of wall and base cupboards, a central island unit providing further cupboards, a double bowl sink and drainer, a gas hob and oven and space for a tall fridge. From the kitchen an inner hall leads to a most useful pantry, gardener’s loo, airing cupboard and excellent utility room, which has additional work surfaces with cupboards beneath, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a range of fitted cupboards with shelving. Beyond the utility room a door gives access to the double garage which is well equipped with heating, light, power, an electric up and over door and has a fully tiled floor. Double doors lead to a passageway out to a large garden store, which is fitted with a wall mounted Belfast sink, power, heating and light. To the other end of the passageway there are doors to the rear garden and the pool house which is complete with his and hers changing rooms, shower room, separate wc and a pump room. Returning to the main hallway, there is a cloaks cupboard and cloakroom and a ground floor master suite, which has extensive built in wardrobes, a dressing area and en suite shower room fitted with his and hers basins, walk in shower cubicle with shower over, bidet, wc and heated towel rails.
Stairs rise to a grand bright and spacious galleried landing, off of which there is a balcony with views over the front grounds. There are three generous bedrooms which have an excellent range of built in wardrobes and are served by a family bathroom which is fitted with sanitary ware including a bath with shower over, a bidet, wc, basin and heated towel rail.
The property although in need in of gentle modernisation has been kept in good order, has UPVC double glazed windows and doors for the most part and gas fired central heating. Undoubtedly Arcantell has huge scope for a new occupier to put their own stamp on and create an aspirational home within walking distance of the beautiful Abbey town of Sherborne.
Arcantell is situated at the beginning of Bradford Road and within closer walking distance of the Town centre of Sherborne and all its amenities. Sherborne is a historic Abbey town with the Abbey and a conservation area to its centre. Amenities include a main line station, three doctor’s surgeries, a library and a comprehensive range of shops, public houses and restaurants.? The local regional centre of Yeovil lies within short motoring distance and provides with Sherborne an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities with golf courses at both Sherborne and Yeovil.?? Communication links are good with a main line station at Sherborne linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.
The front grounds of the property are particularly impressive, laid to a combination of tarmacadam and bloc paving with a sweeping driveway leading to a double garage and extensive parking options.
There is a lawn to the front boundary and established borders to the side as well as a raised central border enclosed by a dwarf stone wall. A paved terrace with sun awning abuts the sitting room and there is also an internal paved courtyard garden which can be accessed via the inner hall. To one side of the property an attractive brick and render archway leads round to the rear garden which is laid to lawn, punctuated with trees and shaped by planted borders. A loggia provides an undercover area with a paved seating terrace. Within the garden there is a fish pond and access to the substantial pool house. Back to listing
