Description
The house is defined by its generous spaces and rural views. The SITTING ROOM offers generous proportions for everyday living and relaxed evenings, centred around a strong architectural focal point fireplace that gives the room real presence. The DINING ROOM sits beyond and is a full, separate reception space, also with an inglenook fireplace and wood burner, well suited to family dining and entertaining with a clear sense of character and scale.
The KITCHEN is positioned conveniently nearby, supporting day-to-day use while remaining closely connected to the main reception areas and benefitting from several integrated appliances. A further ground floor space adds welcome versatility, suitable for BOOT ROOM, STUDY / HOME OFFICE, providing a practical and usable working space within the home. Also located on the ground floor is a BATHROOM, providing useful convenience for day-to-day living and supporting both the reception spaces and the additional ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, all enjoying stunning panoramic views over the rear garden, surrounding countryside and hills beyond.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, SECOND BEDROOM and THIRD BEDROOM are all doubles, each with good dimensions and the same far-reaching outlook. The FOURTH BEDROOM is a good-sized twin room, also enjoying views over the garden and surrounding landscape.
A SECOND BATHROOM serves the first floor.
Throughout, the house retains a clear sense of period structure, with well-defined rooms, strong features and proportions.
Outside
The property is set within an exceptional rural plot, where the gardens extend broadly around the house and open out into a substantial sweep of lawn. The scale of the grounds immediately establishes a sense of space and separation, with the house sitting comfortably within its surroundings rather than being enclosed by them. The garden predominantly faces south, enjoying sunlight throughout the day and across all seasons, enhancing its usability and appeal.
Far-reaching countryside views form a constant backdrop, stretching across open fields and rising landscape beyond. These views are a defining feature of the setting, offering a changing outlook through the seasons and reinforcing the peaceful rural position.
There is ample PARKING to the side of the property, providing practical space for multiple vehicles and visitors while allowing the gardens to remain open and uninterrupted. The outdoor areas are well balanced between usability and openness, with scope for outdoor seating, informal entertaining, gardening or family recreation.
Milton Abbas is close by, offering village amenities and a strong local community, while the immediate setting remains quiet, established and distinctly countryside in character.
Location
Nestled between Milborne St Andrew and Milton Abbas, this stunning location offers convenient access to Dorchester, Blandford, Poole and Bournemouth, as well as access to London via the mainline rail to London Waterloo from Dorchester. The village of Milton Abbas holds the distinction of being the first model village in England when it was founded in 1770's as a result of Lord Milton, Earl of Dorchester, deciding the original village ruined the view from his new mansion at Milton Abbey (now a well-regarded public school). Milborne St. Andrew has a well-regarded primary school, historic Norman church, and useful general store/Post Office.
