Built in 1665 and Grade II listed, Lower Farm is a charming example of a Ham stone farmhouse with wonderful character features. This impressive house is an ideal holiday home with plenty of space for memorable family gatherings.

Information Correct at the time of writing. Lower Farm House is a 10-minute drive from the charming market town of Sherborne (in Dorset). Greatly sought after as a film location, Sherborne offers a packed events programme, an impressive array of independent cafes and shops, two castles, an abbey and has an illustrious history. Any trip to Sherborne must involve a visit to its magnificent abbey. The building is renowned for its ceiling - a fan-vaulted construction - one of the best examples of its kind in the country. Two Saxon kings – King Ethelbald of Wessex and his brother King Ethelbert of Wessex – are buried here as is the poet Sir Thomas Wyatt. The Jerram Gallery in Half Moon Street, established in 1993, exhibits contemporary British art and holds six exhibitions throughout the year featuring both established painters and sculptors along with emerging young artists from across the UK. To truly discover Sherborne and its history you need to explore it on foot. There is a fascinating and picturesque walk around the Sherborne area entitled ‘Raleigh’s Country Retreat at Sherborne’. The 6.4 mile route, which takes in country lanes, gentle hills and pretty villages, reveals the legacy of Sir Walter Raleigh who formerly lived in the Norman castle before building his own manor house on the outskirts of the town in 1594. Sherborne Farmers’ Market takes place on Cheap Street on the third Friday of the month between 9am and 1pm. You can expect to find around 30 stalls stocked with local produce, freshly baked bread, meat, fruit and vegetables. Sherborne Weekly Market is held in the same location every Thursday and Saturday between 9am and 1pm. The nearby Somerset town of Yeovil has a selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. The Octagon Theatre in the town is a modern theatre and visual arts gallery hosting a broad programme of drama, dance and musicals. Twenty miles away in Glastonbury, history, myth and legend combine and there is much to explore and enjoy...
