This superb home has been extended and finished to an exceptional standard throughout. It boasts private off road driveway parking for two cars at the front and a large, stunning, level landscaped garden at the rear boasting a sunny south easterly aspect. It is situated in, arguably, the best address in Milborne Port – Newtown – a short walk to excellent village amenities and the pretty village centre. It is a short drive to the town centre of Sherborne and the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. There are excellent country walks from nearby the front door – ideal as you do not have to put the children or the dogs in the car!

Stairs rise to a first floor landing area, three generous double bedrooms and a luxury family bathroom. The property is very near the beating heart of this pretty village on the Somerset / Dorset borders. It is a very short walk to the village centre, church, public house, primary school and village shops. Milborne Port boasts The Clockspire - a superb new restaurant, a brand new Co-op mini supermarket and a very good doctors surgery. THIS SUPERB COTTAGE IS BIGGER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK AND MUST BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO BE APPRECIATED.

It is a very short drive to the sought-after, historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street and cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools.
