High Street, Milborne Port, Sherborne, Somerset, DT9

The Old Bakery is a Grade II listed cottage located centrally in the popular village of Milborne Port and boasts an impressive and flexible volume of accommodation, ideal for multi-generational living. There is a separate two-bedroom cottage within the curtilage which could be used as further ancillary accommodation or for a valuable income stream.

The former bakery has considerable charm with many period features and provides a delightful light and spacious home. Built in the 18th Century there are exposed stone walls, oak beams, cosy window seats and feature fireplaces.

The main entrance at the rear leads into a large hallway with turning staircase and opening into a large well fitted family kitchen/breakfast room with separate dining area capable of accommodating a large table and chairs. The elegant square sitting room has a beautiful feature fireplace.

There is a self-contained studio which was formerly a shop and has kitchenette and wc facilities. There is a Class E retail category on this element of the property. We understand that there would be no specific reason that a planning application would not be granted to change use of the building entirely to C3 Residential (to include the studio). Any purchaser would be encouraged to make their own enquiries of South Somerset Planning Authority.

A wet room/wc completes the ground floor accommodation which leads out into the rear garden and gives access to the self-contained cottage and the separate two storey workshop with power and light. It may be possible to convert the workshop subject to the necessary planning permissions.

On the first floor there is an impressive Master Suite with dual basins and large walk-in shower. The family bathroom is vast and accommodates a large jacuzzi tub with sound system built in to the room to enjoy long luxurious bathing. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor.

Approached via a five bar gate there is a large parking area leading to both The Old Bakery and The Old Coach House. Behind the workshop is a secluded and sunny patio providing low maintenance al fresco dining.

The Old Coach House has an open plan kitchen/dining room leading to the lounge, there are two bedrooms on the first floor together with the bathroom.

Milborne Port is within very close proximity of Sherborne and its thriving independent boutiques and shops together with the Abbey and two Castles. Milborne Port itself has several churches and public houses, a primary school, butchers and fish and chip shop together with an award wining restaurant. There is a railways station in Sherborne with direct links to Waterloo and excellent road links to the A303.
