Description

This distinctive family residence offers a rare opportunity for renovation and expansion on a generous plot of just over 2.5 acres. Currently owned by the same family for several years, the property has served as a cherished home, surrounded by a rich array of trees and wildlife cultivated over three decades. The house is situated at an elevated position and provides well-proportioned living spaces, including a living room, kitchen, study, utility, bathroom, and two ground-floor bedrooms. The first floor features a master bedroom suite along with additional reception space. With significant potential for remodelling and development (subject to planning permission), this property invites creative ideas to enhance its charm and functionality. The grounds host a variety of established flora, including ancient oaks and internationally sourced trees and shrubs, alongside wildflower meadows that thrive with local wildlife. Additional conveniences include a driveway leading to a detached double garage. Located in the scenic village of Child Okeford at the base of Hambledon Hill, residents can benefit from local amenities such as a village hall, recreation ground, doctors' surgery, post office/village store, two pubs, and primary school.
