Summary - The Old Post Office, High Street, Milborne Port, SHERBORNE DT9 5AQ
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Village-centre family home with large gardens, solar panels and planning permission for a garden room.
Double‑fronted natural stone cottage with characterful period features
A charming double‑fronted stone cottage set in the heart of Milborne Port, presented in good order and arranged over two floors. The well‑lit sitting room and open-plan kitchen/dining room open onto a large lawned rear garden and paved patio, creating an easy flow for family life and outdoor time. Ten recent solar panels and rainwater harvesting reduce running costs, while mains gas central heating and a log burner provide reliable warmth.
Parking is straightforward with a private driveway for two to three cars and a generous side area that already has planning permission potential for a garage or carport (subject to local authority approval). The property also benefits from planning permission for an oak-framed single-storey garden room to the rear — an opportunity to add more living space without losing garden. Local amenities, a primary school and countryside walks are all within a short stroll, making the location especially family friendly.
The house has scope for significant extension (subject to planning) and is ideal for buyers who want a well-presented home they can tailor further. Important practical points: the property is of traditional stone construction (pre‑1900) and the walls are likely uninsulated; glazing is secondary rather than full modern double glazing in places. Any major alterations will require permission because the house sits in a conservation area.
Overall, this is a comfortable, deceptively spacious family home in a quiet village centre position with sensible running costs and clear potential to increase living space. Buyers should be comfortable with the constraints and permissions that come with a period stone property in a conservation setting.
