About this property
Spacious detached family home
Four well-proportioned double bedrooms
Principal bedroom with en-suite
Garage and driveway
Front and rear gardens
Conveniently positioned for village amenities
A spacious detached family home in an elevated village setting, enjoying countryside views, four double bedrooms, landscaped gardens, ample parking and a garage.
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.
To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and secluded setting, enjoying a pleasing degree of enclosure from mature shrubs and established planting. 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. A charming octagonal summer house provides an additional feature within the garden, and a side gate offers convenient access to the front of the property.
Situation
Milborne St Andrew is a thriving Dorset village, conveniently situated between Dorchester and Blandford Forum. The village offers a good range of amenities, including a village shop, first school, parish church, village hall, doctor’s surgery, sports field and the Royal Oak public house, fostering a strong sense of community.
The village lies approximately two miles from the A35 at Puddletown, providing convenient road links towards Dorchester, Poole and Bournemouth.
Both Dorchester and Blandford Forum provide a wider range of shopping, leisure and everyday amenities. Dorchester also offers railway services to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads, alongside Dorset County Hospital. The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of scenic walks through the beautiful Dorset landscape, while the renowned Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site is also within easy reach.
