Summary - HAMBLEDON COTTAGE SHAFTESBURY ROAD CHILD OKEFORD BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 8EQ
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious character home with large garden in sought-after village location.
No forward chain, ready for immediate sale
Hambledon Cottage is a spacious four-bedroom Georgian semi-detached home set on a generous plot on the edge of Child Okeford. The house blends period character — exposed beams, fireplaces and panelling — with a large L-shaped kitchen/dining room and a dedicated home office, giving practical family space and excellent entertaining flow. The garden and stone terrace provide a sheltered private spot for outdoor dining and play, with off-street parking for several vehicles.
The room proportions are generous throughout: a dual-aspect sitting room with wood burner, formal dining with chimney breast and a sizeable master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and modern ensuite. The property is offered chain-free and sits close to village amenities, primary school and countryside walks including Hambledon Hill — attractive for families seeking village life with good local facilities.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building is a pre-1900 solid brick construction with no known cavity insulation (assumed), double glazing fitted before 2002, and shared private drainage with the neighbouring property. Council tax is in a higher band and the area’s broadband performance is reported as slow locally; prospective purchasers may wish to confirm current service levels and consider insulation or energy improvements.
Overall, Hambledon Cottage will suit a family or buyer looking for a character home with flexible living space and scope to update energy efficiency. With no forward chain the property is ready for a purchaser to move in and personalise while benefitting from a substantial garden and village location.
