A beautifully finished and individually built 4 bedroom link detached home, well positioned on the western side of Sherborne. Ample Parking and Gardens.


Aborea was individually built by Pearce Properties Ltd in 1986, with reconstituted stone elevations under a tiled roof. The property has been sympathetically extended and modernised in recent years, to create a versatile and well-proportioned family home. The property is accessed via a private road, leading to a select development of only four properties, all within level walking distance of the towns amenities. A wide and welcoming hallway provides access to the cloakroom and all key living areas  The sitting room is beautifully proportioned with a centrepiece stone fireplace and gas fire inset. Continuation of entertaining space flows into the garden room, built only two years ago with remote operated Velux lights and garden access. A dining room provides a social link between the sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room has a south easterly orientation with views of the garden. The high quality kitchen is fitted with a range of units and breakfast bar, granite worktops, twin Franke sink and mixer tap, eye level Hotpoint electric double oven, 5 ring gas hob with Franke extractor hood, space for dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The former garage has been converted to create a separate utility providing additional storage and plumbing for white goods, with useful walk in shower. A study with computer point completes the ground floor layout. Upstairs the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, the principal bedroom having the benefit of a sizeable dressing room with fitted wardrobes and WC facilities.  The guest bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom comprising p-shape panelled bath with thermostatically controlled attachment over, twin vanity sink unit and wc.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on September 6, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 6, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
