Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Four double bedrooms
  • One-bed, self-contained cottage annexe (with holiday income)
  • High specification finish
  • Countryside views
  • Character property
As versatile as it is characterful, Little Hewish Cottages is certainly has a broad appeal. The current owners enjoy the main houses’ FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS and TWO RECEPTION ROOMS in a variety of ways, catering for family, guests, work and hobbies, whilst using the ATTACHED ONE-BEDROOM ANNEX to draw a healthy holiday let income (more details available on request). If one were so inclined, however, the annex could be brought back into the main house with ease, creating an even more expansive dwelling, or retained as impressive guest/family accommodation.

With woodland walks on your doorstep, and the beautiful villages of nearby Milton Abbas and Milborne St Andrew boasting amenities and further appeal, the property offers something for everyone.

The ENTRANCE HALL is a welcoming light and spacious area with useful understairs storage and CLOAKROOM with hand-basin and W.C. Engineered Oak flooring flows from the entrance hall into the SUN LOUNGE which provides access into the garden through double French doors and again offers plenty of storage space. The SITTING ROOM has exposed beams, a large open fireplace with wood burner and exposed brick surround adding further warmth and rusticity to an already charming room.

The contemporary KITCHEN/DINING ROOM is a large, open space, with granite work surfaces, integrated dishwasher, further tongue and groove panelling, plentiful cabinets, electric Rangemaster oven and hob, and double doors into the garden. Accessed from the kitchen area is the UTILITY ROOM with sink, plumbing/space for washing machine and tumble dryer and further access to the garden.

On the FIRST FLOOR there is an expansive LANDING AREA with more exposed brickwork leading to the 4 bedrooms and family bathroom. The FAMILY BATHROOM comprises a bath, walk-in shower, basin and WC. Each of the four double bedrooms offers views over the rolling countryside. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM with DRESSING ROOM and ENSUITE including bath/shower combination, W.C., and basin, has views over the rear garden and countryside to the side. BEDROOMS 2/3/4 are all good size double bedrooms with space for wardrobes and other storage.

THE COTTAGE ANNEXE: is extremely spacious and offers a versatile space, reflecting many of the features and style of the house itself. Currently it has one SUBSTANTIAL BEDROOM with ENSUITE W.C., and basin. There is also a separate SHOWER ROOM with large shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and W.C. In addition there is a very generous SITTING ROOM and considerable KITCHEN/DINING ROOM with a range of wall and base units, integrated sink, space for fridge and plumbing for washing machine, integrated electric oven with hob and extractor fan.

Outside
Accessed from the kitchen, sun lounge and annexe, the rear garden is an appealing space, landscaped by the current vendors and having several delightful areas ideal for entertaining and relaxation, safely enclosed for privacy and enjoyment. There is a summnerhouse/studio with light and power, and parking for multiple cars to the side of the property.

Location
Nestled between Milborne St Andrew and Milton Abbas, this stunning location offers convenient access to Dorchester, Blandford, Poole and Bournemouth, as well as access to London via the mainline rail to London Waterloo from Dorchester. The village of Milton Abbas holds the distinction of being the first model village in England when it was founded in 1770's as a result of Lord Milton, Earl of Dorchester, deciding the original village ruined the view from his new mansion at Milton Abbey (now a well-regarded public school). Milborne St. Andrew has a well-regarded primary school, historic Norman church, and useful general store/Post Office.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
