Read the full agent description
A spacious double-fronted detached family home in the centre of Okeford Fitzpaine, enjoying open countryside views towards Okeford Hill.
Built in the 1980s and cherished by the same family for decades, this well-designed home offers generous room sizes, a bright and welcoming layout, and exciting potential for modernisation to create a stunning contemporary village residence.
Inside – The wide entrance hall immediately conveys a sense of space, leading to versatile reception rooms ideal for family living and entertaining. Upstairs, a broad landing connects four well-arranged bedrooms, all offering plenty of natural light and outlooks over the gardens or countryside beyond.
Outside – Set back from the road, the large front garden and wide driveway provide privacy and a strong presence. A detached garage sits alongside, with turning space for easy access. To the rear, the garden is wonderfully private — enclosed by mature evergreen trees — and features a summer house. Side access is available on both sides of the property.
Whether you’re relaxing, entertaining, or allowing children to explore, the outside space truly enhances the lifestyle available.
Location – Okeford Fitzpaine is a highly desirable Dorset village, known for its scenic streets, welcoming community and stunning countryside — famously captured in local photography and calendars. The village benefits from a local shop, a well-loved pub, parish church, and superb walking and cycling routes including the Wessex Ridgeway. Majestic views from Okeford Hill and Bell Hill are right on your doorstep.
