Cash buyers only! A two bedroom Grade II listed terraced character cottage and integral retail premise, offering scope to convert into one dwelling. Located in the heart of the ever popular village of Milborne Port and ripe for renovation. No onward chain.

8 High Street is a handsome double fronted, Grade II listed terraced character cottage with attractive stone elevations under a tiled roof, requiring refurbishment but with scope for extension/reconfiguration STPP.

Currently the cottage is arranged with the shop frontage which could be converted to create versatile living spaces, leading into the lounge with dining room and kitchen beyond. There is a conservatory area on the ground floor which is currently inaccessible. The first floor has two good sized bedrooms served by the bathroom.
