This is a rare development opportunity in Sherborne with planning consent for two new dwellings (P/FUL/2024/04528). The site is offered freehold and benefits from an allocated phosphate credit, making the approved scheme deliverable without additional phosphorus mitigation. The approved designs specify high-quality traditional materials including natural slate, clay facing brickwork and hardwood framing, supporting strong long-term appeal.
Both plots are compact, arranged over 1.5 storeys (Plot 1 ~120 sqm; Plot 2 ~124 sqm), suitable for buyers wanting a small-scale build for sale or occupation in a sought-after Abbey town location. The parcel sits edge-of-town with easy access to Sherborne’s shops, schools and transport links — attractive for local purchasers or a sympathetic infill developer.
Important constraints are set out plainly: the site currently contains garages with asbestos; occupants have been notified but buyers should allow for safe removal costs and compliance work. The title is possessory, so purchasers should seek specialist legal advice before bidding. The property will be sold at public auction (with livestream) on 12 December 2025, so interested parties should carry out due diligence in advance.
This opportunity suits a buyer confident in delivering a small, high-quality scheme quickly — either a local developer, an investor targeting the Sherborne market, or an owner-builder seeking a bespoke infill home close to town amenities.
