Portman Place, Sherborne, DT9

A well-presented two bedroom Georgian Style first floor apartment with allocated parking, located in the heart of Sherborne. Share of freehold.


This stylish apartment was built as part of the high end Radcliffe development in 2012 and forms 1 of only three exclusive apartments in the development. The stone faced property is in the Georgian Style with large windows and high ceilings that enhance the feeling of light and space evident throughout. This is seen in the living room with its large bay window at one end and 2 further windows on its west side: the elegant drawing room part has high quality bespoke fitted joinery including desk, window seat, cupboards and bookcases and the kitchen has built in integral appliances, double oven, ceramic hob with fan extractor, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer. There is a waste disposal unit below the twin sink unit and the kitchen area has a ceramic tiled floor and the living area has fitted wool carpet.
The principal bedroom is well equipped with built-in, wood finish, wardrobes and drawers and has a contemporary en-suite fully tiled shower room with a generously proportioned shower cubicle. The second bedroom is of double proportions and also has extensive built in cupboards. The family shower room has recently been remodelled and, as well as its modern shower cubicle has a very practical laundry facility with a Miele washer and drier stacked in a cupboard with louvred doors.
All the rooms lead off a wide hallway where, again, attention has been given to detail and quality. The doors are attractively oak veneered, there are further cloak cupboards and throughout there is ceiling coving and modern decoration . The property is heated by a condensing boiler with a “gas saver” for economy and rooms have separate thermostatic control. Insulation standards are high with modern double glazing throughout. There is also a fresh air circulation system. On the stairwell landing, there are useful, lockable, cupboards and in the courtyard there is a reserved parking place and a communal storage area.

To the front of the apartment there is a single parking space for the exclusive use of the apartment.

Portman Place lies just a few minutes' walk from the top of Sherborne's main thoroughfare, Cheap Street, where many of the amenities of the historic Abbey town may be found. This characterful street is closed to vehicles during the day and there is varied and excellent shopping with independent stores and with a modern Waitrose store at its upper end while a Sainsbury supermarket is at its lower end. Sherborne has 3 doctors' surgeries, a post office and several coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. Nearby, is the "The Sherborne" a fully restored mansion with attractive gardens that has recently been opened to the public and become both a dining and arts centre. There is also an excellent range of cultural and recreational facilities available. Sporting, walking and riding oppurtunities abound and, within the area, are many excellent schools both private and public. The local regional centre of Yeovvil with its General Hospital lies within a short motoring distance. Communication links are good with a main line station linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303, joined at Wincanton, and give access to London and the Home Counties along M3, M25 route.

With all these amenities, it is not surprising that Sherborne has recently featured in The Sunday Times as one of the very best places to love in the UK.
