Description

Tane is a welcoming semi-detached home set in the heart of the sought-after village of Winterborne Stickland.

Offering a relaxed countryside base, surrounded by beautiful National Landscape (formerly AONB) and an abundance of nearby walks and footpaths, with the village pub just a short stroll away, it strikes an easy balance between peaceful rural living and everyday convenience for families or friends.

The property is approached via a generous driveway providing parking for up to three vehicles, along with a useful shed ideal for bikes and outdoor gear.

An entrance porch leads through to a central hallway, with a convenient ground-floor cloakroom.

To the front, the sitting room enjoys views across the village and centres around a traditional open fire, creating a warm and comfortable space to unwind.

The kitchen is well-equipped and neatly arranged, providing a practical and comfortable space for cooking, while the dining room, complete with a dresser, offers an inviting setting for shared meals.

Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom overlooking the garden, providing flexibility for guests or single-level living if required.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts a spacious king-size bedroom, along with a family bathroom fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash basin and WC.

Outside, the rear garden is a standout feature, generously sized, enclosed, and thoughtfully arranged over several levels.

Mature trees and shrubs create a sense of privacy, while a variety of seating areas offer options to suit the time of day.

A level area to the rear provides space for outdoor dining, with a pathway leading up to a further lawned section and decked terrace.

At the top of the garden, a charming shepherd’s hut adds a distinctive touch.

Complete with its own decked seating area, day bed and fridge, it offers a private and inviting retreat, perfect for long, relaxed summer afternoons.

The surrounding area offers plenty to explore, with the River Stour close by and a number of excellent farm shops nearby, perfect for picking up fresh local produce.

For something a little different, Houghton Springs Trout Farm offers the chance to pick up freshly caught trout, ideal for preparing a simple, locally sourced supper back at the property.

Winterborne Stickland itself is a thriving and well-loved village, nestled in a picturesque valley to the west of Blandford Forum, close to Bulbarrow and Milton Abbey.

With its village pub, sports ground and active community, it offers an appealing rural lifestyle, while nearby Milton Abbas adds a farm shop, café and an additional pub.

For a wider range of amenities, Blandford Forum is just a short drive away, with Dorchester and Sherborne within easy reach beyond.

The coastline, including Poole Harbour, Studland Bay and the Jurassic Coast, can be accessed easily, making Tane an excellent base for both countryside and coastal escapes.

A comfortable and well-positioned home, Tane offers space, flexibility and a genuinely appealing village setting.

We had a great time staying at Tane.

It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The welcome basket was much appreciated, thank you!

This is a lovely cosy 2bed house in a very small, quiet village with only a local pub.

No shop or street lights. But its a wonderful retreat. The house is comfy, well appointed and clean and has a large enclosed garden which our retriever loved with plenty of dog walking areas in the locality. The locals were very friendly indeed and would stop for a chat either on the street or in the pub which is highly recommended and serves good pub grub.

Cottage has a good location for day visits to Lulworth, Weymouth, Corfe Castle, Swanage, etc.

, biggest concern was comfort / sleeping facilities. Old soft, lumpy mattress in main bed / bedroom very uncomfortable, spent 2 nights in the lounge armchair trying to get some sleep before cutting short the holiday and leaving earlier than booked. There is a large caravan parked on the drive ( not shown in the advert photo) making reversing onto the main road the only option, and very difficult.
