A rare, spacious three-bedroom apartment in Sherborne’s Mulberry community, presented as the largest home on site and designed for comfortable over-55s living. The open-plan living area, vaulted lounge window and modern kitchen create bright, low-maintenance space ideal for downsizers who value light and room for visitors. With three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, the layout suits couples wanting guest space or those who regularly host family.
Practical benefits include lifts to all floors, pet-friendly policies, fully maintained communal gardens and a true lock-up-and-leave lifestyle close to Sherborne’s shops and amenities. Fast broadband, very low local crime and excellent mobile signal support a connected, relaxed life in this market town.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property sold via shared ownership. The annual service charge is high (£8,856) and deferred event fees apply — factor these running costs into affordability. The community is well-established and vibrant, which will appeal to those seeking social amenities and organised activities, but the shared-ownership model may limit resale or mortgage options for some buyers.
Overall, this apartment offers generous internal space and convenient retirement living in a desirable town location. It’s best suited to buyers prioritising comfort, community amenities and a maintenance-free lifestyle, who are comfortable with leasehold/shared-ownership arrangements and the associated service charge.
