A substantial seven-bedroom Victorian detached house set on a generous one-third acre plot in desirable Child Okeford. The main house combines high ceilings, exposed beams and period character with a contemporary farmhouse kitchen, two reception rooms and a sizeable master suite. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe, double garage and workshop/outbuilding add versatility for extended family, home working or rental income.
Energy and services are modernised in part: the home has a 3kW solar PV array, fibre broadband and an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating. There are four wood burners across the property (one HETAS-certified) and a licensed well supplies a separate grey-water system for non-potable use. The property is offered chain free and sits in a very low-crime, affluent village setting with good local primary schooling and easy road links to nearby market towns.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the solar PV and some electrical installations require appropriate sign-off or re-testing before use; the well-fed grey-water system is currently connected and can be isolated at the purchaser’s choice; several wood burners were installed earlier and may need regulatory review. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family home with valuable ancillary accommodation and clear potential for those wanting flexible living or income generation.
