Mentioned in the Domesday Book as Middlestone, Milton on Stour comprises mainly period houses and farms and is surrounded by beautiful agricultural land. The village itself has a church and primary school, while the nearby town of Gillingham offers a wide range of everyday amenities including shops, banks, doctors’ surgery, schools and three supermarkets, one of which is Waitrose, together with a mainline railway station (London Waterloo in approximately two hours). Shaftesbury, Mere and Wincanton are also within easy reach. Gillingham benefits from excellent road connections, with the A303 about four miles to the north, providing swift access to London via the M3, while the south coast at Poole and Bournemouth is within an hour’s drive.

The property is approached from the lane, flanked by stone pillars into a generous car parking and turning area adjoining the double garage. The garage has been configured to provide a separate utility area. Centrally positioned within its plot, Middlestone is surrounded by delightful gardens. To the front, the grounds are mainly laid to lawn beds and a variety of ornamental trees. The lawn extends around the side, and leads to a stone-paved terrace with box hedging and well-stocked flower and shrub borders. The private gardens provide a wonderful backdrop, with year-round interest created by an abundance of flowers, shrubs and bulbs.
