Designed by Barbara Jones (founder of the School of Natural Building and one of the preeminent authorities in the world in Straw bale building), Gleanings was constructed in 2016, and the ethos of the cottage was efficiency, form and function combined, whilst offering very tangible practical benefits over other types of construction. To this end, the property was designed to accommodate all age ranges, from young families through to retirement, and is wheelchair accessible.
The open plan SITTING DINING ROOM exudes light and comfort. The wooden floors add a touch of rustic elegance, while the beams in the high vaulted ceiling add character and charm to the space. The property is heated by a large wood burner which sits along one wall in the living area, with glass-fronted double doors opening onto the south and east side of the garden, additionally allowing lots of sunlight.
The DINING AREA is adjacent to the KITCHEN AREA. Perfect for entertaining and culinary endeavours, the kitchen features ample countertop and storage space, Belfast sink and drainer, and further space and plumbing for white goods.
Stairs rise to the mezzanine level above, which adds an element of unique architecture, and includes a generous PRINCIPAL BEDROOM with ample space for a sofa suit, reading nook or, as in this case, a bright and characterful artist studio. If one were inclined, a wall could be erected (subject to normal consents) between the bedroom and studio area.
BEDROOM TWO (returning to the ground floor) readily accommodates a double bed and further furniture, and includes the same high vaulted ceilings evidenced elsewhere, and is adjacent to the WETROOM, which includes a shower, wash hand basin, and W.C. Finally, there is a useful UTILITY ROOM for storage and further white goods.
Outside
There is off road parking to the side of the property, and the private, secluded garden wraps around the south, west, and easterly sides of the property, allowing secluded spots of enjoyment throughout the day.
Location
This delightful property is nestled within a quiet no-through road within the village of Milborne St Andrew. The village itself is ideally located within close proximity of the main route between the County town of Dorchester, with its mainline railway station (London Waterloo), famous weekly market and reputable schools, and Blandford Forum with its boutique-style shops, tea rooms and river-side walks.

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
