This property presents a significant development opportunity featuring full planning permission for the conversion of four barns into residential units, along with the addition of a new build. Nestled on the southern edge of a desirable village, it offers stunning views across the countryside, including landmarks such as Melbury Beacon and Bulbarrow Hill. The existing structures comprise a mixture of traditional brick and modern portal frame barns set within a classic farmyard layout, providing a blank canvas for investors or developers seeking to create attractive homes in a picturesque locale.
Great House Farm enjoys a strategic position near key transport links, including the A30 and Gillingham's mainline station, enhancing its appeal for future residents. The nearby village amenities provide essential services while also being conveniently located close to Shaftesbury, known for its vibrant community and historical charm. This site is ideal for those looking to capitalize on rural living with easy access to urban conveniences.
With planning granted by Dorset Council (application number P/FUL/2025/00917), potential renovation work will involve updating and converting existing barns into four distinct dwellings, alongside constructing one additional house. This project promises not only to beautify the landscape but also to meet growing housing demands in this sought-after region.
Local utilities such as mains water are close by, while electricity is already accessible on-site, with only a treatment plant required for complete setup.
