Location

The village of Sherborne sits in an enviable location perched high above the Windrush Valley overlooking the brook, its weir and the surrounding fields. With much of the village occupied by the prestigious Sherborne House and its former Stable Block, as well as a multitude of what were originally workers cottages for the now Natural Trust Sherborne Estate, all in weathered Cotswold stone, the village offers a beautiful rural idyll, yet situated conveniently for the A40 Cheltenham to Oxford road.
