Milton Abbas, Blandford Forum

*NO ONWARD CHAIN*. Location, Location, Location. Spring Cottage is a most appealing semi-detached 4 bedroom COUNTRY COTTAGE situated in a truly idyllic setting just a mile outside of the Village of Milton Abbas.

The origins of the Cottage hail from the 1820's and it oozes CHARACTER and CHARM. Thoughtfully updated and improved over the decades, most recently by the current vendors, this comfortable family home sits in a QUIET COUNTRY LOCATION, immediately ADJACENT TO A BRIDLEWAY/BYWAY, giving access to miles of OPEN COUNTRYSIDE walks literally from your gate.

The ground floor houses a LARGE BOOT ROOM, COUNTRY STYLE KITCHEN, UTILITY ROOM/CLOAKROOM, LIVING ROOM packed full of CHARACTER FEATURES, open fire, bread oven and a SEPARATE DINING ROOM for more formal dining. The dining room is triple aspect and enjoys patio doors to the outside, views to the front garden and a beautiful LOG BURNER creating a focal point of interest. An attractive entrance hallway concludes the ground floor accommodation. The ground floor of this property STILL offers scope to alter internally and at over 1700 sq ft, offers a superb option if you seek a RURAL IDYLL, peace and quiet with room for a family or just visiting guests.

With FOUR GOOD SIZED BEDROOMS, TWO being ENSUITE, the first floor is every bit as appealing as the ground floor and is flooded with LIGHT and RURAL views. The larger two double bedrooms are situated at either end of the Cottage and the smaller two, in the middle. Both of the larger bedrooms have NEWLY UPDATED ENSUITE shower rooms and a family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.

With the added bonus of TWO LARGE OUTBUILDINGS situated immediately over the lane from the house sitting in an additional PRIVATELY OWNED parcel of land of approximately 0.15 acre, the options here are endless and the property is a true MUST-SEE to be fully appreciated. The outbuildings were originally built as cow sheds and have concrete floors, POWER and a WATER supply. With the correct planning consent, these additional buildings could easily be transformed into something quite special or just be used as they are currently, as an abundance of storage. The gardens immediately surrounding the Cottage have been COMPLETELY RE-LANDSCAPED to provide a LARGE Lakeland Stone PATIO area for Alfresco dining to the rear, tiered lawn to the front of the Cottage and plenty of OFF-ROAD PARKING, neatly tucked behind attractive double gates. All external fencing has either been repaired or replaced and the off-road gravelled parking area, created. A SUMMER HOUSE with power supply ready to be connected, completes the picture and could be utilised as a HOME OFFICE if desired.

Oil Fired Central Heating, Mains Drainage, Mains Electricity, Fibre Broadband, EPC 'D' and Council Tax Band 'C'. The Cottage is a short drive to the Villages of Milton Abbas, Milborne St Andrew and Ansty for every day amenities and is equidistant between the Georgian Market Town of Blandford Forum and Dorchester.
