Ludbourne House enjoys a superb town centre location just a stone’s throw from the mainline railway station to London Waterloo, as well as Pageant Gardens, Sherborne’s central town park and Sainsbury’s supermarket. Sherborne is a particularly attractive Abbey town with a conservation area to its centre and many of the town’s amenities lie within walking distance of the property, including the Abbey, the timeless high street with its comprehensive range of shops, public houses and restaurants, Sherborne House Arts Centre, two supermarkets and a number of doctors surgeries. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with golf clubs at both Sherborne and Yeovil, while the region is well known for both its public and private schooling.

The property enjoys a full-width courtyard garden with a sunny southerly aspect, set behind tall natural stone walls, with further privacy provided by pleached hornbeam trees which extend above the stone walling. The garden has a U-shaped raised bed planted with a variety of colourful perennials, overlooked by a stone flagged veranda, which is accessible from the rear hall via French windows. A secure, wrought iron pedestrian gate and pathway lead to the front entrance, while an electrically operated wrought iron security gate allows vehicular access to the parking space and substantial garage. The driveway is shared with the three neighbouring residences that form part of the prestigious Ludbourne Hall enclave, discreetly located to the rear of the property.
