The Tippling Philosopher is a Grade II listed premises occupying a prominent trading position on the High Street (A30) of the historic Somerset/Dorset border village of Milborne Port. Milborne Port has a population of around 3,000 people and is an attractive village with many fine stone period properties and stands just two miles south east of the Dorset Abbey town of Sherborne. The village includes a convenience store, newsagents, pharmacy, butcher, health centre and a school.
The Tippling Philosopher dates from the 16th Century and takes its name from the brilliant scientist, chemist and philosopher, Robert Boyle who lived here between 1627 and 1691.
The property benefits from a bar, snug, function room with skittle alley, beer garden and four bedroom flat above. In addition there is a stone outbuilding which has planning permission granted to convert to a holiday cottage.
The Tippling Philosopher has developed as a popular local community Free House which also benefits from its position on the A30 and being so close to Sherborne. The Tippling Philosopher, still known as “The Tippler” (Ale Maker) has a fascinating history which is detailed on the board above the Bar Servery.
