Description
A rare development opportunity has arisen in the rural hamlet of East Orchard, Dorset, offering a chance to create three new dwellings on a two-acre site. The current planning consent, approved by Dorset Council, allows for the demolition of existing agricultural buildings and the construction of three new homes, along with associated landscaping and infrastructure. The site previously had a Class Q Prior Approval for the conversion of the barns into residential dwellings, establishing the principle of residential development. A large barn is included in the sale, which, subject to future consent, could potentially be converted into another residential dwelling. The site is situated near the picturesque hamlet of East Orchard, approximately four miles south of Shaftesbury, with easy access to Gillingham and its mainline railway station. The area is known for its rolling countryside, walking routes, and proximity to the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
