A Charming and Welcoming Cottage in the Heart of Milborne Port:-
This delightful semi-detached stone cottage has been a much-loved home, and it shows. With three generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully presented interior, it combines character, comfort, and a wonderful sense of home. Situated just a short walk to the high street, you’ll find everything you need close.
Believed to be around 200 years old and once thought to have been a village bank, this cottage has been lovingly cared for over the years. Recent updates include double glazing throughout, a new boiler, a front door in keeping with its original style, a stable door, and tasteful redecoration in a vintage-inspired style that perfectly complements its character.
Inside, charm abounds — exposed ceiling beams, some wood panelled walls, a fireplace with log burner, deep window sills with window seats, and traditional pane-glass windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The layout is thoughtful, with surprisingly spacious rooms that make the cottage feel light, and welcoming.
Outside, the garden is easy to maintain yet beautifully presented — a perfect little retreat for relaxing or entertaining. From the moment you walk through the door, this home feels personal, homely, and full of life.
Whether you’re looking for a cosy village home, a peaceful retreat, or a welcoming place to start the next chapter of your life, this cottage offers a rare combination of character, comfort, and location. It truly must be viewed to be appreciated.
The Property
Accommodation
Inside
Ground Floor
An original style panelled door opens into a well-proportioned sitting room with a paned glass window and seat beneath that looks out over the high street. There are exposed ceiling beams and a stone fireplace with a wood burner – ideal for cosy winter evenings and chilly autumn afternoons. From the sitting room you enter the hall where you will find stairs rising to the first floor, a stable door to the courtyard and openings to the kitchen and utility.
The kitchen has a paned glass window to the side and a deep bamboo windowsill. The wood panelling, exposed ceiling beams and wood effect flooring, add warmth and character to the room. It is fitted with a range of country style units consisting of floor cupboards with drawers and eye level shelves. There is a generous amount of bamboo and wood effect work surfaces with a matching upstand. You will find space for a slot in cooker and a fridge/freezer.
The utility room is another arm of the kitchen and is fitted with wood work surfaces with a matching upstand and tiled splash back and there is a one and half bowl ceramic sink and drainer with a mixer tap. There are cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine. From here a door opens to the cloakroom, which is fitted with a WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
First Floor
Stair rise to the landing, which has exposed ceiling beams, stairs rising to the first floor and latch doors to the bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom is fitted with a stylish modern suite consisting of a WC, pedestal wash hand basin and bath with wood panelled side and mixer tap with old fashioned style telephone shower attachment. There is tile effect vinyl flooring for practicality.
The bedroom has a paned glass window to the front and retains character features including exposed ceiling beams and some panelled walls. There is also a recess with display/book shelve and a wardrobe.
Second Floor
Stairs curve up to a part galleried landing with a deep silled window to the side and space for a small study area – there is access to the loft and latch doors to the bedrooms and cloakroom, which is fitted with a WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
Bedroom two looks out to the front of the cottage and enjoys a partial view of the church tower and retains exposed ceiling beams. The other bedroom has a rear aspect and benefits from hanging space.
Outside
Outside
At the rear of the cottage is a long private easy to maintain courtyard, which is perfect for coffee, something stronger and alfresco dining. It enjoys plenty of sunshine and is a bit of a sun trap. A timber gate at one end opens to the side of the cottage where our owners park their car.

Location And Directions
The village itself has everything on the doorstep — from a butcher, Co-op, and fish and chip shop to a doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, primary school, and even a high-end restaurant. Add in friendly pubs, a vets, and the vibrant local community, and it’s easy to see why Milborne Port is such a popular place to live. For wider connections, the historic town of Sherborne is only three miles away with its mainline railway station.
