Set behind timber gates in the Conservation Area of Milborne St Andrew, this Grade II listed five-bedroom house combines period character with practical living for a family. High ceilings, exposed beams and original detailing sit alongside a generous kitchen with AGA, multiple reception rooms and a light-filled garden room that opens to terraces and lawns. The layout includes a self-contained one-bedroom apartment on the top floor, useful for guests, extended family or rental income.
The house is ready to occupy with calm, assured finishes throughout, but its listed status will affect alterations and maintenance — any structural or cosmetic changes will require listed building consent. The property already offers clear flexibility: a ground-floor bedroom suite, principal first-floor suite, two further double en suites and the separate apartment provide adaptable accommodation for multigenerational living.
Outside, the largely walled and mature landscaped gardens are a major asset: broad lawns, formal borders, specimen trees, a productive kitchen-plot and sheltered terraces create private outdoor rooms. Practical features include a wide driveway, double garage and an outbuilding currently used as a gym. Broadband is fast and the village setting gives easy access to Dorchester and Blandford Forum while retaining rural tranquillity.
Buyers should note running costs and constraints: council tax is expensive and the Grade II listing adds responsibility and potential extra cost for repairs or alterations. Overall, this is a substantial village family home with strong day-to-day comfort, attractive income potential and significant garden amenity — well suited to those who value character, space and privacy.
