Sherborne House, Dorset, Grade I listed country house in Newland, Sherborne, England.
The three-story stone and brick mansion features seven bays, a slate roof, and an earlier 16th-century north wing with Palladian architectural elements.
Henry Seymour Portman commissioned the construction of Sherborne House in 1720 as a midway residence between his properties in Somerset and Dorset.
The interior staircase displays a grand mural painted by Sir James Thornhill, depicting characters from Greek mythology in intricate detail.
The building opens in Spring 2024 as The Sherborne, offering exhibition spaces, a bistro, restaurant facilities, and flexible office areas for rent.
The Sherborne House Trust acquired the property in 2018 through a donation from Michael Cannon to transform it into a public arts venue.
