It sounds like a town to me. In Britain, "the country" means non-urban parts of the nation. "I live in the country", however, normally means "I don't live in London (nor in another big city). "Country" is rural. It is not a matter of size. It is a matter of style, lifestyle and economic activities.

In Britain, "the country" and "country life" have deep socio-economic roots and meanings. At the top level, a models of country life are the Queen's estates at Sandringham and Balmoral. Here is how the "Country Life" magazine defines its focus: "The magazine covers the pleasures and joys of rural life, as well as the concerns of rural people. It is primarily concerned with rural communities and their environments as well as the concerns of country dwellers and landowners." "The pursuits and interests covered include hunting, shooting, farming, equestrian news and gardening and there are regular news and opinion pieces as well as a firm engagement with rural politics."

It is a town.
