Description

A 0.4-acre level building plot in West Stour, offered with full planning permission for a proposed 2,680 sq ft Dan-Wood Point 217 SE eco modular home. The approved design provides three or four bedrooms. The listing also notes that other Dan-Wood designs may be suitable, subject to the necessary consents. The plot is intended to accommodate the house, gardens and parking. Water, electricity and broadband are available on site for connection, and a waste drain is in place ready to connect to a water treatment plant. Access is via a private road, with an additional route through the Dorset Showground available by agreement. The modular structure is described as capable of erection in around three weeks once groundworks are complete. An earlier permission for a traditional brick-built house has expired. West Stour is a rural village in the Blackmore Vale, with Shaftesbury and Gillingham approximately five miles away. Gillingham has a mainline station with services to London Waterloo and the West Country. The site offers the opportunity to build a new home, with planning, connection arrangements, access terms and construction costs to be checked by a purchaser.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £325,000, the plot is exceptionally cheap against the local average on a price-per-square-foot basis, making the acquisition price a standout strength. The overall WHOTS score is still a weaker 57/100: this is a build project rather than a renovation, and the available information does not establish the project economics.

The appeal is the level 0.4-acre village site, with full planning permission for a bespoke eco-designed home and services available for connection. The open plot and included plans give a buyer a clear starting point for creating a substantial home and shaping the gardens, subject to checking the permission, conditions and implementation requirements.

Key opportunities

  • Create a bespoke three/four-bedroom eco-designed home under the current planning permission, after verifying its conditions and implementation requirements.
  • Use the 0.4-acre level plot to plan generous gardens, terraces, parking and outdoor entertaining space.
  • Water, electricity and broadband are available on site, with a waste drain in place ready for connection to a treatment plant.
