VENDORS READY FOR A QUICK MOVE! OVER A QUARTER OF AN ACRE! FOUR BEDROOMS! DOUBLE GARAGE! Oak Cottage is a stunning, double-fronted, period-style, thatched, natural stone, link-detached modern cottage situated in a highly sought-after ‘tucked-away’ address on the edge of this popular village, a very short drive to Sherborne town and mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property offers deceptively spacious accommodation (1846 square feet) and some lovely features including reclaimed solid oak floors, an open fireplace and period-style double glazing. The property benefits from gas-fired radiator central heating. There are lovely, substantial gardens at the front and rear offering a good degree of privacy with a level plot extending to just over a quarter of an acre (approximately 0.27 acres). The rear garden enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect. There is a driveway providing off-road parking for a total of five cars plus a generous, double garage. The accommodation enjoys good levels of natural light from dual and multiple aspects. It comprises large entrance reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen / breakfast room, conservatory and ground floor cloakroom / WC. On the first floor, there is a large half-gallery landing, master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom/WC. There are great rural dog walks from nearby the front door.  The house is within a stone’s throw of the village centre, church, public house, primary school and village shops. Milborne Port boasts The Clockspire - a superb new restaurant, a brand new Co-op mini supermarket and a very good doctors surgery. The historic town centre of Sherborne is only a short drive away with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools. It is also a short drive to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property is perfect for those aspiring families or couples making the most of the cheap mortgages available at the moment, buyers cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect village home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools. It may also be of interest to the residential letting or holiday letting market. It also enjoys superb vehicular access to the A303 trunk road to London and the South West.
