Summary - The Old Meeting House, Higher Street, Okeford Fitzpaine DT11 0RQ
2 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Charming two-bedroom thatched cottage with vaulted ceilings and garden in sought-after Dorset village.
Thatched, characterful cottage refurbished circa 2013
The Old Meeting House is a characterful two-bedroom thatched cottage set in the heart of Okeford Fitzpaine. Refurbished around 2013, the house combines traditional features — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and solid oak flooring — with modern fittings such as a contemporary country kitchen and two en-suite bathrooms. Vaulted ceilings and a mezzanine snug give an airy, loft-like feel to the open-plan living space.
Outside, the small, enclosed rear garden is low-maintenance with a paved patio, raised lawn and a relatively new Rhino greenhouse. The village setting offers a strong community, local shops, a pub, and good walking and riding routes on surrounding countryside, while broadband and mobile signal are both strong.
Practical points to note: the property is a historic build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation and a thatched roof — features that give charm but can mean higher maintenance and running costs. Double glazing was installed before 2002. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed early in any purchase process.
Overall this cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful, low-street-footprint village home with modern conveniences already in place. It is particularly well suited to downsizers or buyers looking for a comfortable rural base with period appeal, though those seeking minimal maintenance or modern insulation standards should factor potential upkeep into their plans.
