Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Sharpe joined the Ceylon Civil Service in 1857 and became the commissioner of the North Western Province. He was called to the English bar by the Inner Temple in 1880.
After retiring from government service in 1889, he stood in the seat unsuccessfully in 1892, won it from the Liberals in 1895, held it in 1900, but stood down in 1906.
