A pretty semi detached cottage in the typical Dorset style with white painted rendered elevations under a good thatched roof 33, Milton Lane was comprehensively refurbished about 7 years ago. The accommodation has been reorganised to include all the essential conveniences but without loosing any of its charm and character, and the presentation is exceptional. At the heart of the cottage is a fabulous family kitchen/dining room with a beamed ceiling and gallery which doubles as a study and occasional bedroom (3rd). The cosy sitting room features a large inglenook fireplace and off the separate hall there is a utility area and ground floor bathroom. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, and the sleeping accommodation is supplemented by a marvellous self-contained shepherd’s hut which includes a bed, living area and ensuite shower room. The wiring and plumbing have been upgraded, a new boiler was installed in 2023 and the roof was re-thatched in 2017. No.33 is a beautifully appointed and very practical cottage that is not only a very comfortable village home but would also make a perfect weekend retreat in a very popular village setting.
Fronting the village street there is plenty of parking next to the cottage and a side gate opens into the private enclosed garden. Simply planted in a traditional cottage style the garden is well kept and includes a sunny gravel seating/dining area and the afore mentioned shepherd’s hut. Immediately behind the cottage there is a useful covered area with a tool shed and log store.
Durweston is a thriving village in a lovely setting under the Bryanston Estate woods and surrounded by a lovely part of the Dorset countryside which straddles two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB’s). The village has a new and busy village hall and successful primary school, and it is only a short walk across the fields and over the river bridge to the pub (The White Horse) in the neighbouring village of Stourpaine, where there is also a sports club with playing fields and tennis courts and direct access onto the Dorset Trailway. Further afield there are lots of opportunities to watch sport, play golf and enjoy water sports with the coast being less than half an hour away at Poole Harbour, Studland Bay and along Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline.
All the other amenities you might need are nearby in Blandford which boasts an M&S Food Hall and Tesco and Lidl superstores. In not much more than half an hour you can be in the county town of Dorchester, Sherborne with its pretty shopping streets or historic Shaftesbury. Wider communication links are also good. The business centres along the coast from Poole and Bournemouth through to Southampton are within reasonable driving distance, and the A31 is nearby providing an easy link to the M27and M3 up to London. The A303 and M3 via Salisbury is an alternative route to London, and Salisbury, Gillingham and Poole stations all offer fast regular trains to London Waterloo.
