About this property

A beautifully presented and fully refurbished 18th century family house, full of original Georgian charm, including open fireplaces, flagstone flooring and window seats, with views across the town to the Abbey.<br /><br />Once the home of William Bensly, an Old Shirburnian who went on to become a master at Sherborne School and tutor to Alan Turing until his death in 1943, Nowell House is a beautiful and classic example of a Georgian gentleman’s townhouse. Outwardly it has changed little since it was built in the 18th century and unsurprisingly today is Grade II listed. The house is built of local sandstone with tall sash windows and a plain clay roof, with two storeys and a suite of attic rooms.
