Spend leisurely days alternating between the hot tub and barrel sauna, before venturing inside to socialise and relax in the open-plan living space. Should you wish to explore the area, take a short drive and discover all that Sherborne (Voted the best place to live in the Southwest in a recent Sunday Times poll) has to offer, while day trips to Weymouth Beach and walks along the Jurassic Coast are within easy reach. The space At the heart of the property is the open-plan kitchen/dining room/lounge which is beautifully constructed with wooden ceiling beams and floor-to-ceiling windows. Relax on the L-shaped sofa with the ambience of the flame-effect fireplace and your program of choice on the 55” Samsung Frame TV.
