Court Lane, Milborne Port, DT9

‘Blackberry Cottage’ is a simply stunning, period, natural stone, double-fronted, semi-detached, extended character cottage situated in a fabulous ‘tucked away’ residential address on the rural edge of the picturesque Somerset village of Milborne Port, a very short drive to the town centre of Sherborne and mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property stands in a generous level plot and gardens extending to a fifth of an acre (0.20 acres approximately). This exquisite cottage retains original character features including exposed beams, window seats, internal stone elevations and a natural stone feature fireplace with cast iron log burning stove and yet is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing. The property has been stylishly finished and extended, creating an eclectic blend of contemporary, sociable open-plan living space and country cottage character. It has a stylish bespoke hand-painted kitchen, garden room with feature lantern ceiling window and a luxury bathroom. It is heated by a mains gas fired radiator central heating system, cast iron multi-fuel burning stove and also benefits from hardwood bespoke double glazing. There is a generous, level, lawned garden at the rear with a sunny south facing aspect and a good degree of privacy. The cottage comes with a further portion of land just moments up the lane that offers superb scope to build a detached double garage and driveway parking, subject to the necessary planning permission. There is free, unrestricted street parking on the country lane at the front of the cottage. The well-arranged, deceptively spacious accommodation boasts a sunny southerly aspect at the rear and good levels of natural light. It comprises sitting room, open plan kitchen / dining room, garden room, utility room and ground floor WC / cloakroom. On the first floor, there is a landing area master double bedroom with dressing area, two further generous bedrooms and a first floor luxury family bathroom.
