High Street, Milborne Port, Sherborne

A Charming and Welcoming Cottage in the Heart of Milborne Port:-

This delightful semi-detached stone cottage has been a much-loved home, and it shows. With three generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully presented interior, it combines character, comfort, and a wonderful sense of home. Situated just a short walk to the high street, you’ll find everything you need close.

Believed to be around 200 years old and once thought to have been a village bank, this cottage has been lovingly cared for over the years. Recent updates include double glazing throughout, a new boiler, a front door in keeping with its original style, a stable door, and tasteful redecoration in a vintage-inspired style that perfectly complements its character.

Inside, charm abounds — exposed ceiling beams, some wood panelled walls, a fireplace with log burner, deep window sills with window seats, and traditional pane-glass windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The layout is thoughtful, with surprisingly spacious rooms that make the cottage feel light, and welcoming.

Outside, the garden is easy to maintain yet beautifully presented — a perfect little retreat for relaxing or entertaining. From the moment you walk through the door, this home feels personal, homely, and full of life.

Whether you’re looking for a cosy village home, a peaceful retreat, or a welcoming place to start the next chapter of your life, this cottage offers a rare combination of character, comfort, and location. It truly must be viewed to be appreciated.
