3 Greenhill Court is an elegant first floor apartment in a Grade II listed late Georgian house with southerly views across the town of Sherborne. The current owners have thoroughly renovated this spacious flat, fitting a new kitchen and bathroom and carrying out an extensive programme of re-decoration in Georgian muted tones. The apartment boasts desirable period features with high ceilings, picture and dado rails, sash windows and matching doors. The floor coverings are all new, with newly carpeted bedrooms, new tiles in the bathroom and new parquet in the hall, drawing room and kitchen.
The drawing room is a large and distinguished space, with twin sash windows looking out over wonderful townscape views enjoying the sun for most of the day. A new Bath stone fireplace with a real fire effect electric wood burner adds relaxed comfort. Two spacious double bedrooms also enjoy the same southerly aspect, affording a light and airy feel.
The kitchen comprises newly fitted, painted solid wood units with eye level double AEG fan oven, Bosch hob, fitted combi microwave and Quooker 5 in 1 tap over a Belfast sink. There is also a built-in dishwasher and space and connection for a washing machine and tumble dryer, tastefully concealed by cupboard doors. Just along the corridor, the sizable bathroom offers a large walk-in shower, freestanding bath, basin, wc and large heated towel rail. The apartment has been updated with useful technological features such as USB sockets throughout, underfloor heating in the bathroom and a Dyson charging point in the hall cupboard.
GARDENS AND OUTBUILDINGS
A west facing communal garden lies to the rear of the property, comprising mature shrubs in a central bed and the potential for al fresco dining. The garage is in a former stable block constructed of stone with leaded lancet windows purported to have come from Sherborne Abbey; this offers potential to create an ensuite bedroom above the garage. There is an allocated visitor space and further parking in nearby streets.
This is a beautifully presented apartment in a central location enjoying southerly views of the town and boasting the rare attribute of a garage and visitor parking.
LOCATION
Greenhill Court is situated on Greenhill, within easy reach of the plentiful amenities Sherborne has to offer. 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 two castles – one of which was home to Sir Walter Raleigh – reflect the historic nature of the town, the centre of which is a designated 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 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 London Waterloo in about 2 hours 15 minutes; Sherborne station is within walking distance. The nearby A303 dual carriageway, linking with the M3,
puts London within easy reach.
SPORTING AND RECREATION
Racing at Wincanton. Golf at Sherborne and Yeovil. Sherborne Abbey holds regular concerts and recitals. The Newt country estate and hotel is nearby. Hauser and Wirth in Bruton and The Sherborne in Sherborne for the arts. Theatres at Salisbury, Yeovil and Bath (within an hour). Numerous footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes make the area ideal for walking, bicycling and riding.
EDUCATION
The area is particularly noted for the high quality of its schools. Sherborne Prep, Hazlegrove and Port Regis are all within reach, as are Sherborne Boys’ and Girls’ schools, The Gryphon, Leweston, Millfield and the Bruton schools.
