Property description
A deceptively spacious and beautifully presented three-bedroom link-detached home, quietly positioned in a sought-after, tucked-away residential setting – just a short walk from the village centre and local amenities.
Constructed of attractive natural stone and offering over 1,170 square feet of well-planned living space, this charming property enjoys a sunny, south-facing rear garden designed for low-maintenance living. The house also benefits from a detached single garage, private driveway parking for one vehicle, and additional free, unrestricted on-street parking available at the side of the property.
Internally, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and is filled with natural light thanks to its pleasant southerly aspect. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a generous sitting and dining room with dual aspect windows, creating a bright and airy space. The kitchen/breakfast room offers plenty of space for informal dining, and there is also a ground floor WC and cloakroom.
Upstairs, a central landing provides access to three comfortable double bedrooms, all enjoying attractive views over the village. The modern family shower room was formerly a bathroom and could easily be reconfigured to accommodate a bath if desired.
The property features uPVC double glazing and a mains gas-fired central heating system. Set in a peaceful residential position close to the pretty parish church, it is only a short, level walk from the heart of Milborne Port. The village offers a strong sense of community and a range of useful amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, village shops, a newly opened Co-op supermarket, a good local pub, and the renowned Clockspire restaurant. A very good doctors surgery is also nearby.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, countryside walks are just a few steps from the front door – perfect for dog owners and families alike. Milborne Port is well-connected, and the picturesque market town of Sherborne is just a short drive away. Sherborne boasts a boutique high street, independent cafes, regular markets, excellent restaurants, the breath-taking Abbey, a Waitrose supermarket, and a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Waterloo in just over two hours. The town is also home to several highly regarded private schools and was recently named the Best Place to Live in the South West by The Times (2024).
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a well-appointed, low-maintenance home in a peaceful yet convenient village location, ideal for downsizers, professionals, or families seeking easy access to countryside and town life. Early viewing is highly recommended.
The property enjoys a particularly attractive frontage onto a traffic-free walkway, providing a peaceful and safe setting. A small front garden, laid to decorative stone chippings, is planted with a variety of mature shrubs and flowering plants, adding kerb appeal and a welcoming touch. A paved pathway leads to the covered storm porch and main entrance.
To the rear, the main garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and benefits from a sunny, south-facing aspect. Generous in size, it extends to approximately 37 feet 8 inches in length by 25 feet 7 inches in width at its widest points. Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, the space is largely laid to patio, offering a sunny and sheltered area perfect for outdoor seating and entertaining. The garden is further enhanced by well-stocked flowerbeds and borders, a timber garden shed, and a rainwater harvesting butt. It is fully enclosed by a combination of mature hedging and attractive brick walling, creating a secure and private outdoor retreat.
A rear garden gate provides convenient access to a private driveway which in turn leads to the detached garage. Measuring approximately 16 feet 8 inches in depth by 9 feet 7 inches in width, the garage is equipped with power and lighting, a metal up-and-over door, overhead rafter storage, and a uPVC double glazed window to the rear, making it a versatile and functional outbuilding.
