The Property - A spacious and well presented detached family home, occupying an elevated position within the sought-after village of Milborne St Andrew, enjoying views across the village and surrounding countryside. The property offers well proportioned and versatile accommodation, thoughtfully arranged for modern family living, together with a private, garden, generous driveway parking and a single garage.

The accommodation is approached via an entrance porch, leading into a light and welcoming entrance hallway, which provides useful under stairs storage and access to a cloakroom fitted with a WC and wash hand basin.

The sitting room is an well-proportioned reception space, enjoying a dual aspect that allows natural light to fill the room. A wide bow window to the front takes full advantage of the property's elevated position, whilst a gas fire with a living-flame effect provides an attractive focal point. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The kitchen/dining room is equally generous in its proportions. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of wall and floor-mounted units, complemented by quality Corian work surfaces and a central island incorporating a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a fridge and dishwasher, alongside a freestanding dual-fuel Rangemaster range cooker with gas hob. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, whilst the room also benefits from views towards the front of the property and direct access to the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen, a useful utility room provides additional space and plumbing for laundry appliances.

Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to a light and airy first-floor landing, which benefits from an airing cupboard and further useful storage. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from built-in wardrobes, together with an en-suite shower room comprising a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. Bedrooms two and three are also generous doubles. Bedroom four occupies a similar rear-facing position to the principal bedroom, completing the bedroom accommodation. The first floor is served by a contemporary family shower room, partially tiled, with a walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

Outside - The property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles and leading to a single garage, which benefits from both light and power. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with established flower borders adding colour and interest.

A paved patio adjoins the property, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation, whilst the remainder is principally laid to lawn and interspersed with attractive flower beds and borders.
