A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully positioned 3-4 bedroom detached home within the highly regarded C G Fry development, conveniently situated for Sherborne's historic town centre and amenities.

Double doors open into the dining room, creating a sociable flow between the principal living spaces.

French doors provide direct access to the garden and allow the room to benefit from the property's sunny south-facing aspect.
