A rare, Grade II listed stone building on Shaftesbury’s hill-top with full planning consent to convert to a substantial 5,300 sq ft single dwelling. Formerly an AA Rosette restaurant and guest house, the property combines strong period character with clear redevelopment potential and private parking for several vehicles. An attached contemporary two‑bed annexe sits under a separate title and benefits from an air‑source heat pump and thermal store.
Full planning permission (including listed building consent) has been granted for change of use; current drawings also propose dividing the main house into two townhouses, each with parking. The layout currently provides 11 bedrooms (nine en‑suite), extensive ground‑floor hospitality spaces, cellar storage and a large courtyard garden — giving scope for multiple conversion options, short‑term letting or a single family residence of significant scale.
Buyers should note the listed status. While consent has been secured for the approved scheme, the listing brings ongoing maintenance obligations, constraints on alterations and potential additional costs. The property sits in a small‑town fringe area with higher local crime levels — practical considerations for certain uses — though communications, parking and local amenities are all strong.
Overall this is a high‑profile proposition for developers, investors or buyers seeking a generous, characterful conversion in a desirable hill‑town location, with flexibility to retain or sell the annexe separately.
