DIRECTIONS On entering the village from Sherborne, Wyke Cottage will be found on the left hand side, just before The Tippling Philosopher public house.
SITUATION Wyke Cottage is situated in the heart of this sought-after conservation village, within walking distance of local amenities including the Parish Church, pub, primary school, shops, doctors' surgery, and The Clockspire, a superb restaurant. Sherborne, just 4 miles away, offers a wider range of shopping, leisure, and schooling options, along with its picturesque Abbey, boutique high street, and a mainline railway station to Exeter and London Waterloo.
DESCRIPTION Wyke Cottage is a deceptively spacious three/four bedroom link-detached, three-storey cottage, constructed principally of stone elevations beneath a tiled roof. The property is beautifully presented throughout and benefits from leaded light double-glazed windows and gas-fired central heating with newly installed Worcester boiler. It retains a wealth of character features including exposed beams, window seats, log burners, and multi-fuel stoves, blending period charm with modern comfort.
The ground floor offers excellent living space with two reception rooms and a generous kitchen/dining room fitted with newly installed shaker-style units and quartz worktops, together with an adjoining laundry room and cloakroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, along with a family shower room. The second floor provides a flexible suite of rooms comprising a lounge area, bedroom, and bathroom, making it ideal as a guest suite or independent living space.
Outside, the property is approached via a shared driveway leading to a garage, adjoining workshop, and large carport. To the rear lies a secluded, mainly walled garden with an attractive insulated log cabin, perfect as a home office, studio, or hobby room.
ACCOMMODATION A charming period home with characterful features and modern upgrades. The entrance lobby leads to stairs to the first floor and into the dining room/snug, featuring a stone fireplace with inset multi-fuel stove, engineered oak flooring, and a large front window with seat. The sitting room boasts a natural stone fireplace with log burner, oak flooring, under-stairs storage, and a multi-pane side window. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is fitted with a newly installed shaker-style kitchen, quartz worktops, ceramic Belfast sink, integrated appliances, wine cooler, and a Rangemaster cooker with five-burner gas hob and double oven. Glazed doors lead to the side and the laundry room, which houses the Worcester Bosch combi boiler and provides space for washing and drying. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has dual-aspect views, exposed pine floorboards, and an en suite shower. Bedroom two features a period cast iron fireplace, while bedroom three/study includes a light tunnel, pine floors, and built-in storage. The contemporary family shower room has oak flooring and exposed beams.
A second-floor staircase leads to a versatile lounge/study with eaves storage, exposed beams, and Velux roof light, adjoining a bathroom with freestanding ball-and-claw bath, reclaimed copper sink, and eaves storage. Beyond this is a fourth occasional bedroom/loft room with vaulted ceiling, with restricted head height, circular window, and Velux light.
