Flat 2 Pencarrow is one of three apartments occupying the first and second floors of a particularly handsome period building situated on the highly sought after road The Avenue, Sherborne. The apartment was converted in the 1990s and has the advantage of owning a share of the freehold and is also without any listed status.
The building is of natural stone elevations under a tiled roof and features a beautiful turret. The property is split across two floors with the main living space on the first floor and bedrooms on the second floor, which gives a real sense of space. The property has a great deal of charm throughout, enhanced by impressive ceiling heights and decorative coving. The windows have been replaced in most parts of the property with attractive UPVC double glazed sash style windows, and have been fitted with attractive white wooden shutters. The sitting room is a particularly lovely room which has a dual aspect, and is laid to an oak veneer wood flooring, with a fireplace to its centre fitted with an electric flame effect fire. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary white high gloss wall and base units with a fitted breakfast bar and drawers beneath and there is a gas cooker and space for white goods. The bathroom has striking mosaic tiling to walls, a half bath with shower over, wc, basin and heated towel rail. The two double bedrooms are located on the second floor which also has a wc on this level. The landing area is light and spacious also providing room for additional furniture and is currently also utilised as a great drying area having a mounted pulley clothes airer. The main bedroom is very generous and has a pleasing dual aspect and a tranquil feel. The guest bedroom has excellent fitted wall storage and a pretty painted cast iron feature fireplace.
