About
‘22 Gainsborough Drive’ is an impressive, detached, double-fronted, modern, mock-Tudor house (2172 square feet) situated in one of the best residential cul-de-sac addresses in Sherborne, off the coveted Bradford Road ‘Millionaires Row’.
It is a short walk to nearby countryside as well as being within walking distance of the town centre and mainline railway station to London Waterloo.
The property stands in a generous, level plot and lovely gardens extending to 0.14 acres approximately.
There is a large integral double garage plus private driveway parking for five to six cars, with potential for more, subject to the necessary planning permission.
The house benefits from gas-fired radiator central heating, some electric under floor heating and also benefits from uPVC double glazing.
The deceptively spacious, well-arranged accommodation enjoys excellent levels of natural light from a sunny southerly aspect at the front and comprises porch, large entrance reception hall, sitting room with doors leads to a garden room / dining room, open-plan kitchen / dining room, utility room and WC / cloakroom.
On the first floor there is a large split-level landing area, master double bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further double bedrooms, a fifth single bedroom / office and first floor family shower room (formerly incorporating a bath).
Some of the bedrooms enjoy far-reaching countryside views beyond neighbouring properties. The house is presented in excellent, tasteful decorative order throughout.
It is within walking distance of the town centre and nearby countryside – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car!
It is a short walk to the historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools.
It is also a short drive to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. MUST BE VIEWED! Sherborne has also recently won the award for the best place to live in the Southwest by The Times 2024.
It also boasts ‘The Sherborne’ – a top class, recently opened arts and conference centre plus restaurant that is in the building of the original Sherborne House.
