Description
The land and barn at Hardy's Monument in Dorset have been in the same family for over 80 years and are now being sold due to the vendor's retirement. The 66.45-acre property offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and coastline and is set within the historic South Dorset Ridgeway landscape. The land is gently sloping and has pockets of woodland, and the agricultural barn and lean-to offer potential for agricultural or equestrian uses, subject to planning consents. The property has an overage provision that will apply if planning permission is granted for non-agricultural uses, and the land is being sold with vacant possession. The sale presents an opportunity to acquire a piece of Dorset's history and enjoy the peaceful surroundings while being close to local amenities.
