The property boasts an enclosed, private driveway parking area for six cars or more leading to a substantial detached garage / barn and further outbuildings. This rare and unique home has been finished to an excellent standard throughout and retains many beautiful features including window seats, a feature brick and Hamstone fireplace and oak floors.

There is a ground floor master double bedroom with stylish en-suite shower room. On the first floor there is a landing area, two generous double bedrooms – one with attached further occasional double bedroom five / playroom and a family bathroom. This property boasts amazing scope to reconfigure the existing accommodation to incorporate work-from-home space, a self-contained lodgers flat or to add a separate annex (subject to the necessary planning permission). Damson House is surrounded by pretty, thatched cottages. There are superb rural walks from nearby the front door – ideal as you do not have to put the dogs or the children in the car! The house is a short walk to the centre of Milborne Port with the church, public house, primary school and village shops very nearby. Milborne Port boasts The Clockspire - a superb new restaurant, in addition to a brand new Co-op mini supermarket, butcher, fish and chip shop with restaurant and a good doctor's surgery. The village has an excellent community and network and the current owner has enjoyed living and socialising there. It is surrounded by stunning countryside and walks but also offers excellent access to the A303 trunk road to London and Exeter and the A30 to Salisbury. The historic town centre of Sherborne is only a short drive away with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools. It is also only a short drive to two mainline railway stations to London Waterloo. The property is perfect for those mature couples or aspiring families, buyers cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect pied-a-terre / home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools in this exceptional area. It may even appeal to the residential letting and holiday letting market. NO FURTHER CHAIN.
