Offered with no forward chain, this substantial Grade II Listed family home is beautifully presented and offers genuine flexibility with clear income potential. The ENTRANCE HALL, tiled and generous in proportion, makes a fine introduction to the interior, opening to a sequence of welcoming rooms that flow naturally, and each hold their own distinct character.
The SITTING ROOM is a room of easy grace, defined by high ceilings, deep skirting, and a handsome open fire with decorative surround that anchors the space. The SNUG provides a more intimate retreat, its exposed floorboards, timber detailing, and wood-burning stove lending warmth and a settled feel. The GARDEN ROOM is filled with light, opening directly through French doors to the terrace and gardens beyond. It feels calm and restorative, a natural transition between house and garden. Together, these spaces balance formality and relaxation in equal measure.
The KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM form the heart of the home. Dual-aspect windows fill the room with natural light, highlighting the AGA™, double Butler sink, and tiled floor that give the space its farmhouse authenticity. It is generous enough for family gatherings and entertaining, yet still retains a sense of everyday comfort. A separate UTILITY ROOM provides useful additional space and direct access to the garden.
Also on the ground floor is a large BEDROOM SUITE with fitted wardrobes and an EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM, ideal for guests or more independent living.
Upstairs, the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM SUITE is a large, characterful double room with luxurious EN SUITE accessed by its own stairs. There are two further BEDROOMS on this floor, each having their own EN SUITE, along with fitted storage and soft natural light. The top floor provides a self-contained ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT with its own KITCHEN AND BREAKFAST AREA and a smart SHOWER ROOM. This upper level has exposed beams and a gentle character of its own, well suited for guests, extended family, or an additional source of income.
Throughout, the finish is calm and assured. Period detailing has been preserved with care, and the quality of light enhances the feeling of space. The result is a house that manages to feel impressive yet entirely comfortable, ready to live in and immediately welcoming.
Outside
Set within the Conservation Area of Milborne St Andrew, this handsome Grade II Listed house sits quietly behind timber gates, with a generous sweep of driveway offering parking for several vehicles. There is a DOUBLE GARAGE and a further OUTBUILDING, currently used as a gym, along with a beautifully landscaped GARDEN that is largely walled, private, and full of charm.
The layout is thoughtfully arranged, combining broad lawns with more intimate terraces and seating areas framed by mature trees and established planting. To the side lies a productive section that was once a kitchen garden, complete with greenhouse and plenty of scope for new planting or design. The overall setting feels composed and serene, with the house itself forming an elegant focal point within its grounds.
Location
The village enjoys an enviable position between Dorchester and Blandford Forum, with the main route linking the two close by, yet with wonderful countryside walks quite literally on the doorstep. Dorchester provides excellent amenities, including the direct mainline railway to London Waterloo, a well-known weekly market and a choice of reputable schools. Blandford Forum offers a more intimate feel, with boutique-style shops, tea rooms and peaceful riverside walks.
The village itself has everything needed for everyday convenience, including two local shops, a welcoming pub, regular bus routes and the first school, all within easy reach of the property. It is a setting that combines rural calm with day-to-day practicality, creating a very comfortable place to live.
