Description
Free draining land in the village of Child Okeford
extending to 3.53 acres.
Lot 1 – Approximately 3.53 Acres; comprises a parcel of undulating equestrian pasture
with access from Shaftesbury Road. The land is well suited for private equestrian use,
pony grazing, or smallholding purposes.
There is a traditional corrugated metal outbuilding suitable for basic stabling, storage
of fodder, machinery, or equestrian equipment. The parcel is enclosed by established
hedgerows and mature trees, providing shelter and privacy.
A bridleway close to the property provides direct access to an extensive network of
local riding and walking routes, including Hambledon Hill, making the land particularly
appealing to equestrian purchasers seeking immediate hacking access in an area
renowned for its countryside and riding opportunities.
The land is located close to the desirable North Dorset village of Child Okeford, a thriving
and well-regarded village offering a range of local amenities. The site is within easy reach
of the A350, with the market town of Shaftesbury to the north and Blandford to the south.
