This period cottage, known as 'The Pound', presents a promising development opportunity nestled within a substantial corner plot of over a third of an acre. While the property is currently vacant and requires comprehensive renovation, it holds significant investment potential for developers and builders. The layout allows for the possibility of creating two detached residential units subject to acquiring the necessary planning permissions. Positioned with accessibility from Shaftesbury Road and Whitchurch Lane, this property has vehicle access leading to a single garage and adjacent carport.
Inside, the cottage features a spacious entrance reception hall that leads to multiple living areas including a generous sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, a dining room with potential for modernisation, and a kitchen adjoining various workshops. The ground floor also includes a shower room/WC. Upstairs, the property offers two sizable double bedrooms along with a family bathroom.
Surrounded by beautiful rural walks and just moments away from village amenities in Henstridge, complete with its local church, pubs, and primary school, this location provides an appealing lifestyle amidst picturesque surroundings. Additionally, nearby Stalbridge offers further local shops including the popular Dikes supermarket. With Sherborne's historic charm just a short drive away—boasting boutique shopping options, cafes, restaurants, and excellent schooling—the renovation project here could yield compelling returns in this award-winning area recognized by The Times as one of the best places to live in the South West.
