South Street, Sherborne

NO CHAIN. ‘3 Ludbourne Hall’ is a simply stunning, natural stone, ‘halls adjoining’, terraced house situated in, arguably, the best address in Sherborne – South Street. The property is one of a very select, high quality development of Grade II listed townhouses and apartments in the centre of town, a short level walk to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property is constructed of natural stone elevations under a slate roof and is finished to a high standard. This amazing, unique home has a private courtyard garden at the rear enjoying an easterly aspect – ideal for morning coffee. There is secure, gated parking for one car at the rear. There are excellent country walks from nearby the front doorstep at Purlieu Meadows, the two Sherborne castles and the terraces – ideal as you do not have to put the grandchildren or the dogs in the car! It offers an eclectic blend of period character features and modern open-plan living. The accommodation extends to 925 square feet and offers contemporary, sociable open plan living space. It is heated by mains gas fired under floor heating on both floors. There are period-style bespoke windows on the front and double glazed windows on the rear. The property is full of character features including excellent ceiling heights. There are oak floors and fitted plantation shutters. The well laid out accommodation enjoys excellent levels of natural light from a sunny west-to-east aspect. It comprises entrance reception hall, large open plan sitting room / kitchen area, utility room cupboard and ground floor WC. Stairs rise to a large first floor landing area, master double bedroom with Juliet balcony, second generous double bedroom and a luxury family bathroom. It is a very short walk to the sought-after, historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street and cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools.

The town centre also benefits from the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. The property is a very short, level walk to this station. Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West 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.
