Set on the top floor of a converted Victorian school, this two-bedroom apartment pairs generous, period proportions with modern conveniences. High ceilings, sash-style windows, decorative moldings and a feature fireplace give the principal rooms strong character, while recent upgrades to the fitted kitchen and principal en suite provide immediate comfort.
The apartment is well-located in the centre of Sherborne, a short walk from the Abbey, shops, restaurants and the mainline station — ideal for downsizers seeking a compact, lock-up-and-leave town base. Practical benefits include lift access to the top floor, a designated parking space and a car port, plus a large loft that offers excellent storage and potential for conversion subject to consents.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold with c.970 years remaining and is offered chain free. The service charge is above average at £4,269 a year; this covers lift maintenance, buildings insurance, communal upkeep and a sinking fund. A recent fire affected the covered carport and adjacent garages — reconstruction is insured and due to be carried out, but buyers should be aware works are scheduled and insurance-funded.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful apartment that suits an owner seeking central town living with period charm, good communal facilities and straightforward local amenities, balanced by ongoing communal maintenance costs and the current carport repair programme.
