Lower Gunville, Milborne Port, Sherborne, DT9

‘The Old Smithy’ is a very pretty, period, natural stone, double fronted, link detached cottage (1570 square feet) situated in highly desirable, ‘tucked away’ village centre address with a generous plot and large, lawned rear garden extending to just under a fifth of an acre (0.18 acres approximately). The rear garden is particularly lovely, boasting a sunny westerly aspect and a pretty streamside scene and various stone outbuildings and a timber cabin – ideal for working from home. The property comes with an attached double-length carport leading to a motorcycle garage. The main cottage is simply stunning and has been the subject of full renovation and extension. It is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet retains many character features including exposed beams, stone fireplace with cast iron log burning stove, window seats and shutters. It is heated by a mains gas-fired radiator central heating system and benefits from period style uPVC double glazing. The impressive, well-arranged, flexible accommodation boasts excellent levels of natural light from a sunny east-to-west aspect. It is well laid out and comprises entrance hall, dining room leading in to sitting room, kitchen, snug / garden room, utility room and ground floor WC / cloakroom (with scope to add a shower). On the first floor there is a landing area, generous master double bedroom with en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. It is beautifully presented throughout. There are countryside walks not far from the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! It is a very short walk to the village centre, church, public house, primary school and village shops. Milborne Port boasts The Clockspire – a superb new restaurant, a brand new Co-op mini supermarket and a very good doctors surgery. THIS UNIQUE HOME MUST BE VIEWED TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED.
