Description

This is an exceptional opportunity to secure a building plot that comes with full planning permission for a four-bedroom detached home, perfectly positioned on the outskirts of Shaftesbury. Encompassing approximately 578 square metres, this site not only provides ample space for development but also commands impressive views towards Duncliffe Hill from the rear. With its favourable setting, this plot offers significant potential for investment in a desirable location.

Located in the charming and historic market town of Shaftesbury—famous for its cobbled Gold Hill—this area boasts a vibrant selection of independent shops, cafés, and essential amenities. Additionally, with Gillingham mainline railway station just a short drive away, you have convenient access to direct services to London Waterloo and the West Country. This project promises not only a chance to create your dream home but also an excellent investment in an attractive and sought-after region.
