Milton Abbas, Dorset

An attractive traditional two bedroom Dorset country cottage, built in the late 18th Century, retaining much of its period charm with added modern contemporary touches. No single cottage in The Street is quite like the other! Constructed from cob under a lime render and a thatched roof, the cottage has been sympathetically maintained, and includes a generous garden leading to enchanting woodland.

The property offers comfortable and well-presented accommodation throughout. The delightful SITTING ROOM contains a lovely Inglenook fireplace with cosy wood burner and bread ovens, plus aspect to the front of the property. The DINING ROOM is a charming practical room with a side aspect leaded window, and feature fireplace. The well-appointed fitted KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM blends country style with contemporary convenience. There is an integrated Newworld™ 5 ring Calor gas cooker, and ample space for further white goods, plus extendable breakfast bar.

Beyond it lays the convenient FAMILY SHOWER ROOM with shower cubicle, W.C. and wash hand basin, finished to the same high standards as evidenced throughout. Stairs rise to the two bedrooms, with the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM overlooking the front aspect, and the SECOND BEDROOM, ideal as a guest room or home office, overlooking the rear.

Outside
The extensive elevated rear garden is laid on various levels, including a patio abutting the property. Steps rise to an even more salubrious sun patio, offering views of over thatched rooftops to the front, and forests to the rear. There are several tiered levels to enjoy the garden and views, leading onto ancient woodlands (often frequented by deer!). Additionally, a detached summerhouse/office with light, power, and internet connection, quietly sequestered at the end of the garden provides the perfect escape for home working or creative pursuits (or as an unofficial additional guest bedroom).
