It is also within driving distance to the historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne’s world-famous private schools. The property is perfect for those aspiring families making the move to this exceptional area, couples cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect West Country home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools. It may also be of interest to the holiday letting or second home market. NO FURTHER CHAIN.
