The Meads, Milborne Port, Sherborne

VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN. TOP ADDRESS! ‘36 The Meads’ is a mature, deceptively spacious (1174 square feet), semi-detached house situated in a choice, ‘tucked away’ cul-de-sac location, a short walk from the popular village centre and excellent amenities.

It is situated near the heart of this pretty, popular village on the Somerset / Dorset boarders, only a short walk to the village amenities. It enjoys lovely countryside walks from nearby the front door - ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! 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, brand new Co-op supermarket and more. It is a short drive to the stunning, historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street boasting cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous schools.
