7 Cricket View is a delightful 19th Century end-of-terrace stone cottage, unlisted and presented with great charm and character, situated in a highly sought-after position overlooking the cricket pitches and pavilion. Just a short walk from the historic Abbey and town centre, it offers convenience and atmosphere in equal measure.

The front door opens into a generous sitting room with a wood burner and outlook to the front. Beyond lies the dining room, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen fitted with painted shaker-style units under wooden worktops. A butler sink, space for appliances, and a back door onto the terrace make this a highly practical and attractive space. Beyond is a cloakroom/utility with plumbing for a washing machine and a useful under-stairs cupboard large enough to house bicycles.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two bedrooms, one of good proportions with built-in wardrobes and space for a desk, while the smaller bedroom has space for a double bed and enjoys a view of the terrace. The bathroom is fitted with a contemporary suite including a waterfall shower.

OUTSIDE
From the kitchen a path leads to the terrace garden, designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. A decked area with built-in bench seating provides ample space for outdoor dining and barbecues. At the far end, a raised bed is planted with box and olive trees, adding structure and Mediterranean character.

LOCATION
7 Cricket View is positioned within easy reach of the centre of Sherborne, an Abbey town widely regarded as one of the most attractive towns in Dorset. Dominated by its ancient Abbey and renowned schools, Sherborne provides an excellent range of independent shops, a pottery and art galleries, as well as a good range of cafés and restaurants. The house is just across the road from Old Yarn Mills, a business centre housing a variety of small, independent businesses including antique dealers, artists, a wine merchant, and a craft brewery. Sherborne’s two castles – one of which was once home to Sir Walter Raleigh – reflect the town’s rich history, where the centre is a designated Conservation Area with strict planning controls preserving its special character.

The surrounding area of West Dorset is known for its unspoilt landscape, with many picturesque villages and fine countryside walks nearby. The UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast lies only a fifty-minute drive away at Weymouth.
