‘The Townhouse’ is a simply fabulous, huge (1810 square feet), four / five bedroom period maisonette forming part of a handsome, Grade II listed character building in the heart of Sherborne Town centre. This rare, substantial home has been the subject of full, sumptuous renovation and restoration with no expense spared and is now beautifully presented and retains many period character features from the 19th century including impressive, elegant ceiling heights, period panelling and mouldings, large feature sash windows and cast-iron feature fire surrounds. This fantastic town home is heated via a gas-fired radiator central heating system. The property enjoys views of the market square, high street scenes and town centre from many of the windows with some of the top pubs, restaurants and coffee shops on the doorstep. The well laid out, flexible and deceptively spacious accommodation extends to 1810 square feet and enjoys good levels of natural light via large feature windows.

The Town House is plumb in the heart of 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.
