A charming Grade II listed detached cottage situated in the very heart of Milborne Port, offering a wonderful blend of period character and village convenience. Believed to date back centuries, this delightful home is rich in history and architectural charm, showcasing a wealth of original features that reflect its heritage. The property has been lovingly cared for by the current owners for the past 14 years and retains an abundance of character details, including an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed ceiling and wall timbers, deep-set windows and attractive window seats that add warmth and personality throughout.
The accommodation offers a welcoming and homely atmosphere, with each room displaying individual character and a sense of timeless appeal. The inglenook fireplace forms a striking focal point to the main reception space, creating a cosy setting during the cooler months, while the traditional proportions and cottage features give the home a truly special feel that is increasingly hard to find.
Positioned within the village centre, the property enjoys immediate access to local amenities, allowing day-to-day conveniences to be reached on foot. Despite its central location, the cottage benefits from a surprisingly private and enclosed cottage-style garden to the rear, providing a peaceful retreat away from the bustle of village life. The garden complements the charm of the home beautifully and enhances its sense of seclusion.
The recent installation of a new roof offers valuable peace of mind for prospective purchasers, ensuring that this historic home is well maintained and ready for its next chapter.
Altogether, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly characterful period cottage in a highly desirable and well-served village setting, just three miles from the historic and picturesque town of Sherborne.
Accommodation -
Inside - The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers well-balanced and inviting living space.
The sitting room is rich in character, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace that forms a striking focal point to the room. Exposed beams and traditional detailing enhance the cosy cottage atmosphere.
A separate dining room provides further reception space, ideal for entertaining or family meals, and continues the theme of charm and period appeal.
The traditional cottage-style kitchen overlooks the garden and features wooden units with a mix of wood, laminate and tiled work surfaces. The range cooker will remain, making this a practical and characterful heart of the home.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, both enjoying attractive outlooks and period features in keeping with the age of the property. The bathroom serves the first floor accommodation.
Outside - The enclosed cottage-style garden is a true highlight, offering a private and peaceful retreat. Laid mainly to lawn with mature shrubs and well-established planting, it provides seating areas to enjoy throughout the seasons.
There is a brick-built shed and a timber workshop, offering excellent storage and potential for hobbies or projects.
