No. 29, Sherborne House, is a spacious studio apartment on the second floor. The window looks over the charming courtyard with its tinkling fountain (turned off at night!), cloisters, flowers and seating. The space in the attractive, well decorated and furnished studio is optimised by the inclusion of an excellent, easy to use pull down double bed which is easily put away during the day. The dining/general use table is also pull-down and when in use reveals the flat screen TV (with Freeview box and choice of programmes) and DVD/CD player. There is a large double wardrobe with overhead shelving and ample additional shelves and glass fronted cupboards in the bed and table wall unit. Two armchairs, two comfortable, cushioned folding dining chairs and a useful nest of three occasional tables comprise the rest of the furniture in the main room, which looks onto the beautiful courtyard, replete with fountain, flowers and cloisters, below. Off the hallway is the shower room with shower cabinet, WC and WB. Off the studio is a very well equipped separate kitchen: electric oven/hobs with extractor hood – microwave – fridge with small freezer compartment – washer/dryer – excellent range of saucepans and utensils. There is an electric fan in the event of hot weather. Hair dryer. Communal BBQ. Outside there are extensive gardens (approx. 10 acres) which feature an orangery, wooded areas, rose garden and direct access to National Trust walks. There is also a courtyear and a church adjacent to the main house. There is a large tarmac-surfaced communal car park about 90m. from the front of Sherborne House, but a turning circle allows residents to unload luggage at the main front double doors. Access to Apartment 29 is then gained through the entrance hall and two (long-ish!) flights of stairs to the second floor. Since there is no lift we recommend that when packing for your holiday you may prefer to pack your belongings in two or more small/medium pieces of luggage rather than one large one.
