Summary - Featherstone Cottage, Milton Abbas, BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 0BX
7 bed 4 bath Land
Spacious family farmhouse with annexe and large grounds.
About 34 acres of private pasture and gardens
Featherstone Cottage is a characterful Tudor Revival farmhouse set within about 34 acres of private Dorset countryside, offering an unusually spacious family home with a two/three‑bedroom annexe. Period features — exposed beams, flagstone floors, leaded windows and large fireplaces — sit alongside practical upgrades such as a re‑thatched roof (2022) and ground‑floor underfloor heating for modern comfort.
The attached annexe has its own entrance and garden, presenting genuine flexibility for multi‑generational living, long‑term rental or holiday let income (subject to necessary consents). There is planning permission in place for a new side driveway, plus the option of an additional access into the fields, improving everyday access and practical use of the land.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed property: any alterations will be restricted and listed status may complicate future works. The estate currently participates in a mid‑tier countryside stewardship agreement until 31/12/25 which affects land management. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the property will require ongoing maintenance typical of period houses and thatch roofs.
Set in a peaceful hamlet near Milton Abbas, the house suits buyers seeking privacy, substantial outdoor space and characterful living. With no onward chain and excellent broadband, it will appeal to families wanting room to spread out, those seeking country lifestyle income potential from the annexe, or purchasers looking to combine hobby farming and rural life.
