About this property
Centrally located in the attractive town of Sherborne, and within walking distance of two castles, the Abbey and town centre, Corby House is an impressive Grade ll listed house with generous accommodation for up to ten guests.
Corby House dates from the 18th Century, and is well-situated within the popular town of Sherborne. This generous three-storey property has spacious rooms throughout and a large garden, and is ideal for gathering all of the family together for a special occasion or celebration.
On the ground floor, the accommodation includes a large well-equipped family kitchen with a spacious dining area, leading through to the first of two sitting rooms with a wood burning stove and a television. The second sitting room also has a television and a piano which guests are invited to play. The staircase off the main hall leads you to the first floor where there are three large bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and also a family bathroom with shower. On the second floor there are two further good-sized bedrooms and a family shower room. The first floor desk and study area are located on a wide landing and ideal for those wishing to pen a first novel.
A garden room with table and chairs sits to the rear of the property with a door leading out to the terrace and the extensive garden beyond. A ground floor cloakroom completes the well-appointed accommodation at Corby House.
