Large four-bedroom detached family home with countryside views
Set on a large plot in the peaceful village of Milborne St Andrew, this substantial four-bedroom detached home combines generous family space with flexible multi‑generation living. The heart of the house is a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with elevated countryside views, while an L-shaped sitting/dining room opens to a landscaped rear garden and courtyard—ideal for indoor-outdoor family life. The property includes a useful home office/study, ground-floor bedroom and three first-floor bedrooms, two of which have ensuites and balcony access, giving privacy and independence for occupants.
The outside is a strong asset: gravel driveway and gated parking for several vehicles, integral garage, a well-kept front lawn with pond and an attractive rear garden with terraces, lawns, colourful beds and a powered, heated summer house. The house sits elevated with long rural vistas and is within reach of local village amenities, primary schools and nearby market towns.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property dates from the early 20th century and cavity walls are recorded with no added insulation (assumed), so energy-efficiency upgrades would be beneficial. Broadband speeds are recorded as slow and mobile signal only average, which may affect those working from home despite the included study. Council tax is in a high band (Band F), reflecting running costs. Overall, this is a well-proportioned, characterful family home with clear potential for improvement and modernisation to match today’s energy and connectivity expectations.
