LOCATION
Glebe House lies within walking distance of the town's facilities yet, unlike many properties, is free from the restrictions of any listing consents. Given the convenient position, Priestlands is generally regarded as one of the most sought after locations in the town. Dominated by its ancient Abbey and school, Sherborne is arguably one of the most attractive towns in Dorset. Numerous musical and cultural events occur throughout the year and there is a superb range of traditional shops and boutiques. The beautifully refurbished Sherborne House is a landmark destination for the arts. The two castles, one of which was home to Sir Walter Raleigh, reflect the historic nature of the town, the centre of which is designated a Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to preserve its special character. West Dorset is well known for its unspoilt landscape and there are many pretty villages and countryside walks nearby. The Jurassic Coast is a mere twenty-five miles away at Weymouth. This stretch of coastline from Portland to Lyme Regis, with its spectacular cliffs, has recently been designated a World Heritage Site. Communications to this part of the country are excellent. From Sherborne there is a regular train service to Waterloo (approx 2 hours 15 minutes), the station being within walking distance. The A303 - linking the M3 and the M5 - is dual carriageway almost the whole way, thus putting London and the West Country within a reasonable drive.
SPORTING AND RECREATION
The area is well known for its beauty and there is a network of bridleways and footpaths which cross the countryside making it ideal for walking, cycling and riding. Water sports can be found at Sutton Bingham Reservoir (near Yeovil) or on the south coast and racing at Wincanton, Salisbury, Bath or Exeter. Golf at various courses including Yeovil, Sherborne and Dorchester. There are numerous cultural events and venues including the recently renovated Sherborne House, Dorset’s premier cultural hub.
EDUCATION
The area is noted for its independent schools with Leweston, Sherborne Boys’, Sherborne Girls’, Sherborne Prep, Perrott Hill and Hazlegrove all within easy reach. The Gryphon secondary school is highly regarded and very easily accessible.
