A charming Grade II listed cottage that proudly stands within roughly 0.3acres of stunning gardens set against the beautiful Dorset countryside.
Location
The picturesque North Dorset village of Melbury Abbas is situated at the foot of Spreadeagle Hill between Blandford and Shaftesbury. Mentioned in the’ Domesday Book’ as ‘Meleberie’, the shape of the village has changed little over the centuries with its heart in agriculture.
St. Thomas’s Church with its tower is roughly in the centre of the community. The area is within the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with its undulating countryside offers several beautiful walks.
The nearby market town of Shaftesbury plays host to a wide variety of amenities, schools and leisure facilities whilst mainline train stations are located within the surrounding village of Tisbury (10 miles) or town of Gillingham (12 miles).

With an endearing combination of practical and cosy accommodation, the house offers a triple aspect sitting room complete with a feature fireplace and French Doors leading to the garden before a separate doorway leads to the sun room. Further connected is the dining room that also gives access to the kitchen and generous larder cupboard as well as an elevated conservatory to take in the pleasant surrounds. Numerous storage cupboards, a cloakroom and two separate staircases complete the ground floor whilst upstairs boasts three sizeable bedrooms. The principal room has been enhanced by the recent addition of an ensuite shower room where as the family bathroom is a traditional suite with a shower over bath facility. Available for new ownership for the first time this century, Downside is an exciting opportunity for those looking for a well-positioned home in the country.
