Buckland Newton, Dorchester

This two-bedroom semi-detached cottage is set on a plot of approximately 0.35 acres on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, within Dorset's National Landscape. The accommodation comprises a kitchen, sitting and dining room and boot room on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom above. The property is offered for complete renovation and has a private garden with countryside views. The cottage is of brick construction beneath a clay-tiled roof. Services include mains electricity and water, LPG heating and a shared private drainage system. The buyer is responsible for installing a sub-meter and the associated connection costs. The septic tank is shared with other cottages and is understood not to meet current regulations, so replacement costs should be considered. Access is shared, with maintenance costs divided between the three parties using the track. The property is in a rural setting around seven miles from Sherborne and ten miles from Dorchester, both of which provide shops, services and transport links. The buyer of Lot A has a first option to purchase Lot B at a fixed price of £195,000; if not taken up, Lot B will be offered to the room. Further details, including the access arrangements, are set out in the legal pack.
