This Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a rare combination of historic charm and substantial family accommodation in Milborne St Andrew. At roughly 2,793 sq ft, the house provides five bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple reception rooms, suited to family life, home working and flexible living. A generous, very large plot with lawned gardens, patio areas, a powered studio outbuilding and carport extends the usable space outdoors.
The principal reception rooms retain strong period character: exposed timber beams, a large inglenook with wood-burning stove and low ceilings create a cosy, traditional atmosphere. The kitchen is sympathetically fitted with Corian worktops and range cooker, while the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite. The layout includes a versatile room that can serve as a fifth bedroom, family room or dedicated study.
There are practical considerations that will matter to buyers: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and likely increase ongoing maintenance costs; the thatched roof requires specialist upkeep and may affect insurance costs. The location has a medium flood risk rating and broadband speeds are slow; mobile signal is average. Council Tax is band G and described as quite expensive.
For families seeking village life, the house sits in a well-served Dorset village with a primary school, pub, surgery and bus links to Blandford and Dorchester. The long private garden, studio and multiple parking spaces offer scope for hobbies or home business use. Buyers should allow time to investigate listed-building obligations, insurance and flood details before committing.
