NO FURTHER CHAIN. WITH PRIVATE DRIVEWAY PARKING AND PRIVATE GARDEN! ‘2 Raleigh Court’ is a well-presented, unique, 3 bedroom, link-detached house situated in a superb location, a very short, level walk to the town centre, mainline railway station and Sainsburys store. It is located in one of the most popular residential areas in the town. The property is part of a retirement community for those over the age of 60 years. The house enjoys south west views incorporating Sherborne Abbey and the countryside beyond. The house benefits from an enclosed, walled, level courtyard garden boasting a good degree of privacy and a sunny westerly aspect. There are lovely countryside walks a short walk from the front door at the two Sherborne castles, Purlieu Meadows and The Terraces – ideal as you do not need to put the dogs or the grandchildren in the car!

Stairs rise from the main entrance reception hall to a first floor landing area, two generous double bedrooms and a family shower room (formerly incorporating a bath).
