A delightful semi detached characterful stone cottage with three good sized bedrooms, beautifully presented and well maintained and enjoying a prime location close to the High Street of the popular and well served village of Milborne Port. The village boasts a friendly and active community as well as catering well for everyday essentials with a butchers, Co-op store, fish and chip shop, doctor's surgery and pharmacy. There is also a vets, primary school, high end restaurant and public houses. Just three miles away is the historic town of Sherborne where there is a mainline railway station. We believe that the cottage is about two hundred years old, reputed to have been one of the banks in the village at some point but has been the much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers for the last five years. During this time it has benefitted from some general maintenance and updated with a new front door in the original style, new uPVC stable door has been fitted and the boiler was replaced in December 2022. The property has also been redecorated throughout in a vintage style that suits the cottage very well indeed. The cottage retains many character features, which include uPVC window in a pane glass finish, some deep window sills and window seats, exposed ceiling beams and fireplace. This charming cottage offers more than meets the eye from the outside and must be viewed to experience the wonderful ambience, layout and room size. It will certainly satisfy many potential buyers - from those looking to be in the middle of town with low maintenance garden to those seeking a retreat from a hectic city life, as well as going a long way to tick many other boxes. An early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid missing out on the chance to be the next owner of this stylish property.
