Small character cottage with planning permission to extend — ideal for renovation buyers.
Victorian end-of-terrace with sash windows and good ceiling heights
A compact Victorian end-of-terrace cottage in the heart of Child Okeford, offered with planning permission to re-arrange and extend the first-floor accommodation (Dorset Planning No P/HOU/2022/05494). The house retains period touches — sash windows, good ceiling heights and a fireplace with a wood-burning stove — and sits on a small rear garden that slopes gently away from the house.
The property is small (approximately 575 sqft) and needs modernisation throughout: internal decor is dated, the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the home currently relies on basic electric storage heaters (and a wood-burning stove) for warmth. Secondary glazing is fitted but further thermal and services upgrades are likely required.
This cottage will suit a buyer looking to add value through refurbishment and the granted extension, or someone seeking a characterful village home close to local amenities and countryside. Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains services, fast broadband and very low local crime; negatives are the modest size, renovation requirement, small plot and some restricted access via a shared path.
