Summary - SWISS COTTAGE DORCHESTER HILL MILBORNE ST ANDREW BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 0JG
Detached Victorian stone cottage with character features
Set between Dorchester and Blandford in Milborne St Andrew, Swiss Cottage is a charming detached Victorian family home with characterful stone elevations and plentiful natural light. The well-proportioned living room, separate dining room with double doors to the garden and a practical kitchen/utility layout suit everyday family life and entertaining. A generous driveway, double carport and large, sunny rear garden provide easy outdoor space and off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
The first floor offers three bedrooms, including a master with ensuite and patio doors onto a raised terrace. A boarded loft provides useful storage and potential for future adaptation subject to consents. The property has modern double glazing (installed post-2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, making it comfortable now.
Buyers should note the house was built before 1900 with granite or whinstone walls which are assumed uninsulated — improving thermal efficiency may require investment. The home is described as well presented throughout, though older construction means some maintenance or sympathetic upgrading could be needed over time. Council tax is moderate and the location benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low local crime.
This home will suit families seeking village life with easy access to local amenities, good primary schools and nearby rail links from Dorchester. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the character, garden and parking on offer, and to assess any renovation or insulation improvements you may wish to undertake.
