East Orchard, Shaftesbury

This is a remarkable opportunity to acquire a rural development site nestled on the outskirts of East Orchard, spanning approximately two acres of prime land. The location offers an ideal blend of countryside charm and accessibility, positioned just two miles from Fontmell Magna, where essential amenities like a village shop, pub, primary school, and church can be found. The historic town of Shaftesbury lies four miles north, providing additional shopping and recreational facilities, while Sturminster Newton is four miles to the south. For those commuting or seeking adventure, Gillingham's mainline railway station is only six miles away. The site comprises a collection of former agricultural buildings that come with planning permission from Dorset Council (Ref: P/FUL/2025/05069) for the demolition of existing structures and the construction of three new residential homes designed with modern living in mind while maintaining the rural aesthetic. Additionally, prior approval was granted for converting the agricultural buildings into residences, establishing a clear precedent for future development. Included in this sale is a large barn that presents further development possibilities; subject to obtaining necessary permissions, it could potentially be transformed into an additional dwelling. With main water and electricity already connected on-site and drainage solutions available to be arranged by the buyer, this property offers significant renovation potential within an attractive rural setting that many seek for their next home or investment project.
