Milborne St. Andrew, Blandford Forum, Dorset

Quietly secluded in an approximately 0.5-acre plot offering panoramic countryside views over a manicured landscaped garden to the hills and fields beyond. The quality and salubrious location of this property are equalled by its versatility and convenience. The sitting room, summer room and dining room have been professionally wired with Ethernet Cat 6 cable providing high speed connections for TV and computer. Smart Honeywell™ Zoned Wi-Fi heating, low energy lighting, and an incredibly high specification of insulation throughout ensure the practical considerations have also been taken care of.

A welcoming porch opens into the central hallway. From here, access is gained to several reception rooms in addition to the FAMILY BATHROOM and adjacent WC with wash hand basin.

The SITTING ROOM is a relaxed space with high, vaulted ceilings perfect for hifi music and TV. A focal point of the room is the modern, environmentally-friendly, cast iron wood burner with bespoke Portland Stone mantle. There is a large Velux™ window, and double doors opening onto the rear and views beyond. The expansive KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM boasts ample wooden floor and wall-mounted units, with a stainless steel sink and mixer tap, integrated cooker with four-ring gas hob, and plentiful space for further white goods. The breakfast area would be considered a comfortable dining space in a lesser property, and includes high ceilings and large windows, again maximising the views. Next to this room is the DINING ROOM; an ideal space for entertaining.

The SUMMER ROOM has vaulted ceilings, though upon entering, the eye is naturally drawn to the full-length, bi-folding, glass doors, which open onto the generous garden and views beyond. The doors also have a sun porch with trellis, using a cedar shingles roof for climbing roses and rain protection. This room also includes under-floor heating controlled by the smart heating system. This space exemplifies the theme of the property, that of ‘drawing the outside in’. Additional windows add to the sense of both space and light, with vistas of the surrounding garden and countryside. Multiple outward-opening double doors give easy access to the outside. The oak dividing doors between the summer room and sitting room can be opened to create a very large, warm and inviting place in which to relax and entertain, or simply take advantage of the enhanced acoustics the space and high ceilings offer.

The bedrooms are all large double rooms. The PRINCPAL BEDROOM is extremely well proportioned and includes a contemporary EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM with vanity unit, wash-hand basin, WC and shower. BEDROOM TWO is also a generous double room with EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM with vanity unit, wash-hand basin, WC and shower. BEDROOM THREE is accessed from the hallway; an ideal guest bedroom or large home OFFICE.

Outside
The generous, landscaped gardens back onto undulating hills, offering the perfect backdrop. Well established, with a pond and multitude of flowerbeds, bushes and trees filling the garden with colour and attracting birds and wildlife throughout the year, there really is something for everyone. A patio abuts the rear of the property, one of numerous areas perfect for sitting quietly - with a high degree of privacy - and making the most of the surrounding views. To the easterly side are several vegetable patches and a large, insulated WORKSHOP with LED strip lighting and numerous power sockets for machinery, freezers, tools and garden machinery.

The property is approached by a shared access, with its own driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles and trailers.

Location
This generous property is situated on the outskirts of the village of Milborne St Andrew, offering unparalleled views of the surrounding countryside. The village itself is ideally located in close proximity of the main route between the county town of Dorchester - with its mainline railway station (London Waterloo), famous weekly market and reputable schools - and Blandford Forum with its boutique-style shops, tea rooms and riverside walks.
