South Street, Milborne Port, Sherborne, Somerset, DT9

A beautiful two-bedroom stone character cottage, close to the heart of the favoured village of Milborne Port, pretty courtyard garden. No Onward Chain.


This delightful natural stone-built cottage perfectly combines period charm with modern convenience, having been sympathetically and comprehensively updated by the current owners to create a stylish and comfortable home. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property represents an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers, investors or those seeking a characterful village retreat.
The property has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and enhancement in recent years, resulting in a beautifully presented home that successfully blends character features with modern-day convenience. Improvements include the replacement of all external windows and doors with quality UPVC double glazed units, new UPVC cladding to both dormer windows, a Velux roof window to the bathroom, and roof maintenance including the renewal of damaged tiles and valleys where required. The heating system has also been upgraded with the installation of a modern gas-fired combination boiler. The living room/hall/dining areas now have LVT flooring.
Upon entering, the cottage immediately displays its warmth and character. The ground floor living accommodation has been enhanced by the removal of the former rear door, replacing it with a window to maximise internal living space and improve the overall flow of the room. The property has been redecorated throughout, creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere that complements the cottage's traditional features.
A particular feature of the home is the delightful sitting room, a beautifully proportioned dual-aspect reception room enjoying an abundance of natural light. Character features include attractive exposed ceiling beams, while French doors provide a seamless connection to the private courtyard garden, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The stylish Wren kitchen has been recently installed and is fitted with an attractive range of contemporary units and work surfaces, incorporating an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, whilst retaining the original oven and hob. A modern downstairs cloakroom has also been upgraded with new sanitaryware.
Upstairs, the property offers two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying a pleasant outlook and benefiting from new carpets and tasteful décor. Clever use of space has seen the former airing cupboard transformed into a practical walk-in wardrobe, whilst the bathroom has been completely refitted with a quality suite and now also incorporates space for a washing machine. A new Velux roof window enhances the room with excellent natural light.
