‘22 Gainsborough Drive’ is an impressive, detached, double-fronted, modern, mock-Tudor house (2172 square feet) situated in one of the best residential cul-de-sac addresses in Sherborne, off the coveted Bradford Road ‘Millionaires Row’. It is a short walk to nearby countryside as well as being within walking distance of the town centre and mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property stands in a generous, level plot and lovely gardens extending to 0.14 acres approximately. There is a large integral double garage plus private driveway parking for five to six cars, with potential for more, subject to the necessary planning permission. The house benefits from gas-fired radiator central heating, some electric under floor heating and also benefits from uPVC double glazing. The deceptively spacious, well-arranged accommodation enjoys excellent levels of natural light from a sunny southerly aspect at the front and comprises porch, large entrance reception hall, sitting room with doors leads to a garden room / dining room, open-plan kitchen / dining room, utility room and WC / cloakroom. On the first floor there is a large split-level landing area, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further double bedrooms, a fifth single bedroom / office and first floor family shower room (formerly incorporating a bath). Some of the bedrooms enjoy far-reaching countryside views beyond neighbouring properties. The house is presented in excellent, tasteful decorative order throughout. It is within walking distance of the town centre and nearby countryside – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is a short walk 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. It is also a short drive to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. MUST BE VIEWED!<br/><br/>Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the Southwest by The Times 2024. It also boasts ‘The Sherborne’ – a top class, recently opened arts and conference centre plus restaurant that is in the building of the original Sherborne House.<br/><br/>
