Owner says, "We've loved watching the changing seasons from our window - we can even see Corfe Castle on a clear day. Being so peaceful and secluded while having amenities so close by, has been a real bonus for us."
In 1914 Ernest Debenham, an entrepreneur and philanthropist, acquired many thousands of acres in the area, embarking on an experiment in social and agricultural engineering which changed the face of Dorset in a unique way. This cottage formed part of that development and was constructed to house dairy workers.
The charming, spacious family home is privately tucked away on the outskirts of this popular village and has uninterrupted far reaching rural views, and the space and versatility of this residence is apparent upon entering. The FRONT PORCH opens in turn to the generous, dual aspect SITTING/DINING ROOM. The stunning vista is made readily apparent from this room, overlooking paddocks and fields beyond. A woodburner with brick surround occupies one corner of the living area, which offers space for a full sofa suit, whilst the other end of the room accommodates a sizable dining table and chairs.
The farm style KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM is replete with a range of wooden wall and base units, ample worktop space, breakfast bar, Belling range cooker with gas hob and extractor over, sink with mixer tap, integrated dishwasher and fridge. This room also offers access to the garden. Adjacent is the UTLITY ROOM with further sink, and space and plumbing for washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer.
The FAMILY BATHROOM contains bath, W.C., and wash hand basin, and there is also an additional CLOAKROOM with wash hand basin and W.C.
Stairs rise to the first floor, which contains three double bedrooms. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM SUITE is situated to the front of the property, allowing enjoyment of further rural views. A generous space with, in addition, an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM with shower cubicle, W.C. and wash hand basin. BEDROOM THREE is another double room and has similar views, whilst BEDROOM TWO, the final double room, overlooks the expansive rear garden and woodland beyond.
To complement this charming home, the location, gardens and outside amenities really raise the bar, enhancing this charming rural location, almost prompting one to forget that you are tucked away on the outskirts of a village with a range of easily accessible and convenient amenities. The front garden is large, and allows for the parking of several cars (or larger vehicles, if desired). There is hardstanding to the side of the property with water, electric points and sewerage running to it, ideally allowing for the construction of a DOUBLE GARAGE (subject to normal consents), or else an ideal bay for a caravan or motorhome. A true gardener’s delight, beyond is a vegetable patch, a private patio area for enjoying this tranquil location, and an even more generous rear garden backing onto woodland which can be accessed from this property, offering walks for miles around. Of final note is additional sewerage, electric and water running to the top of the rear garden, easing the creation of a home office or studio if desired.
This delightful property is nestled within a quiet no-through road within the village of Milborne St Andrew with stunning views. The village itself is ideally located within close proximity of the main route between the County town of Dorchester, with its mainline railway station (London Waterloo), famous weekly market and reputable schools, and Blandford Forum with its boutique-style shops, tea rooms and river-side walks.
