The Dwelling - Chapel Cottage is a converted Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in the heart of the village, Imaginatively renovated throughout, this is a lovely village property. An inviting hallway has wood floors and leads through double glazed doors to the double reception room with central fireplace with a wood burner inset. The eat in kitchen gives views over the garden and parking area and at the other end is a well proportioned study, occasionally used as a 3rd bedroom, with views towards the village. Gracious stairs lead to a generous landing with both bedrooms flowing from there. There is a family shower room with 'his 'n hers' basins and a small box room, potentially a dressing room. The 1st floor gives wonderful views up towards Okeford Hill and the surrounds.
Accommodation - See Floor Plan. In brief the house offers two reception spaces and an eat in kitchen with separate utility room. Upstairs has been re-configured to achieve two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes, an excellent shower room. A box room is retained to give possible storage or to use as a study with the 3rd bedroom being the current study downstairs..
Outside - Set behind a high hedge for privacy from the road is the small garden with useful shed, The garden extends to the south side of the house and this side has low hedging giving the views up to Okeford Hill across the recreation ground. The driveway comes up from the village lane with space for some 3 cars.
Situation - Okeford Fitzpaine is a delightful village in the Dorset Downs which are in the heart of North Dorset. The village is very picturesque and street scenes often appear in magazines and calendars as does the surrounding countryside which offers some of the finest views of the county, particularly from Okeford Hill. There are many footpaths and consequently some of the best walking is right on the doorsteps along the Wessex Ridgeway. There is a real village community that is well served by the parish Church, popular pub and village shop. The market towns of Sturminster Newton and Blandford are both about 5 miles away and cater for everyday needs. There is a mainline station at Gillingham and the shopping centres of Poole and Dorchester are each about 20 miles away.
