Tane

Positioned in the heart of the ever-popular village of Winterborne Stickland, Tane is a welcoming semi-detached home offering a peaceful countryside base, surrounded by beautiful National Landscape (formerly AONB) and a network of scenic walks and footpaths. With the village pub just a short stroll away, it combines rural charm with everyday ease.

A generous driveway to the front provides parking for up to three vehicles, alongside a useful shed ideal for storing bikes and outdoor equipment. An entrance porch opens into the hallway, where a ground floor cloakroom adds convenience.

At the front of the house, the sitting room looks out across the village and features a traditional open fire, creating a cosy and inviting space to relax. The kitchen is well-equipped and neatly arranged, offering a practical and comfortable setting for cooking, while the adjoining dining room, complete with dresser, provides an inviting space for shared meals.

Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom overlooking the rear garden, offering flexibility for guests or those seeking single-level accommodation.

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

Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight — enclosed, spacious, and arranged over a series of levels. Mature trees and established planting create a sense of privacy, while a variety of seating areas allow you to follow the sun throughout the day. A level terrace directly behind the house is well-suited to outdoor dining, with a pathway leading to a further lawned area and decked terrace beyond.

At the top of the garden sits a charming shepherd’s hut, adding a distinctive and characterful feature. With its own decked seating area, day bed and fridge, it provides a peaceful retreat — ideal for enjoying long, unhurried summer afternoons.

The surrounding area offers plenty to explore, with the River Stour nearby and several excellent farm shops within easy reach, perfect for sourcing 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 is a thriving and well-regarded village, set within 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 a wonderfully balanced rural lifestyle, while nearby Milton Abbas provides a further pub, farm shop and café.

For a broader range of amenities, Blandford Forum is just a short drive away, with Dorchester and Sherborne also within easy reach. The coastline, including Poole Harbour, Studland Bay and the Jurassic Coast, can be reached in around 45 minutes, making Tane an ideal base for exploring both countryside and coast.

A well-located and comfortable home, Tane offers flexibility, outdoor space and a genuine sense of village living.
