Description

This robust 1960s detached house presents an exciting opportunity for modernization, situated on a generous 1-acre plot in a desirable village setting. Built with solid stone and rendered elevations beneath a concrete tiled roof, this property boasts well-proportioned rooms accessed via a central hallway. The expansive sitting room, nearly 20 feet in length, benefits from dual aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. Just steps away, the dining room provides an inviting area for gatherings and opens into the kitchen/breakfast room which overlooks the sprawling garden. A cozy snug or optional ground-floor bedroom adds versatile living space along with practical amenities including a study, ground floor shower room, separate wc, and excellent utility area. Upstairs, four spacious double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes offer peaceful views of the gardens. While the family bathroom has received recent updates, there remains ample scope to further enhance this residence and personalize it to your taste. Outside, the property is set back from the lane providing privacy while accessible via a driveway leading to a large double garage. Notably, there's also a detached building currently serving as a workshop and games room with potential for conversion into additional living accommodation or an annexe (subject to consents). The extensive garden features mature trees and established shrubs alongside terraced areas for outdoor enjoyment. Located conveniently within reach of local amenities in Child Okeford and nearby towns like Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury, this property truly offers both investment potential and lifestyle improvements in a picturesque locale.
