Sherborne, Dorset

Weber Projects has completed the renovation of a charming Grade II listed cottage in the sought-after market town of Sherborne, Dorset—recently named one of the top places to live in England for 2025.

The property has been meticulously reworked to revive its period character while introducing modern functionality, durable finishes and refined design details. The result is a sensitively restored country home that honours its heritage, enhances long-term value, and delivers a contemporary living experience tailored to the premium rental market.

Key financial outcomes include a 22% uplift in value, an annualised ROI of approximately 15%, and a 4.56% gross rental yield following completion. The project was delivered within a seven-month programme and refinanced at a conservative 63% LTV, enabling efficient capital recycling.

This project reflects Weber Projects’ design-led, investment-driven approach: identifying undervalued assets, elevating them through targeted refurbishment, and retaining them as high-quality, income-producing homes within a growing rental portfolio.
