A rare development opportunity in the Marshwood Vale: a traditional Hamstone barn with full planning permission to convert to a double‑storey, three‑bedroom home, set within about 12.26 acres of well‑fenced pasture crossed by a stream. The barn sits in a sheltered lower yard with a cluster of versatile farm buildings and wide concrete yards, all reached at the end of a private drive and surrounded by Dorset National Landscape (AONB) countryside. Bridport and the Jurassic Coast are within easy reach.
This lot will suit a developer, investor or purchaser wanting a countryside home with land and immediate permitted‑development potential. Services include mains electricity and a right to connect to mains water (if Lot Two is bought separately). The planning consent (West Dorset DC P/FUL/2022/06940, decision 7 Feb 2023) requires demolition of two agricultural barns and construction of a detached bat feeding roost as part of the works.
Practical points are straightforward but important: the conversion will be a retrofit of a pre‑1900 stone building (no known insulation in walls), the estate relies on electric and room‑heater heating options at present, and several outbuildings are in various states of repair. If sold as two lots, purchasers will share the cost of erecting and maintaining a new stock‑proof fence along the pegged boundary. There are no public footpaths crossing Lot Two and flood risk is reported as none.
For a buyer seeking privacy, scope and rural character, Gerrards Farm Lot Two offers immediate planning upside, substantial grazing or amenity land and broad options for equestrian, smallholding or holiday‑let use, subject to completing the approved conversion and associated site works.
