A self-contained wing of the owners’ house, a former Sherborne Castle estate worker’s cottage, believed to date back to 1640, in the attractive village of Thornford, 3 miles from Sherborne in north west Dorset. This Sherborne cottage has been cleverly renovated and is well furnished, incorporating an inglenook fireplace with a warming wood burning stove in the open plan living area, a cosy double bedroom, and a superb roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle in the first floor bathroom. This Sherborne cottage is close to open countryside, offering many lovely walks, with the local shop and pub both a short stroll away. There’s even a halt’ on the nearby railway, which can conveniently take you to the lovely city of Bath. From this Sherborne cottage it’s a short drive to Sherborne’s castles and abbey, as well as the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury, the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, and several National Trust properties. This Sherborne cottage offers a cosy, romantic village base from which to explore this lovely area, at any time of the year!
