The property is tucked away in a special, hidden location accessed via an archway off Cheap Street, in the heart of the town centre and market square. The property is on the doorstep of the coveted high street with its buzzing, popular out-and-about culture, boutique stores, organic bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, gastro-pubs and farmers market. Sherborne also boasts the breath-taking Sherborne Abbey building, Alms Houses, two historic castles and world-famous Sherborne private schools. It is also a very short, level walk to the mainline railway station in the centre of the town, making London Waterloo in just over two hours without changing your seat. The property is perfect for those buyers looking for the ideal Sherborne lifestyle or cash buyers moving from the South East or villages and 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 pied-a-terre, buy-to-let or holiday letting markets. THIS PROPERTY IS EXTREMELY RARE AND MUST BE VIEWED TO BE APPRECIATED.
