Summary - Southgate, Beaminster DT8 3LX
1 bed 1 bath Land
Mains services installed and planning in place for a bespoke family home.
Reserved matters approved August 2023 for one dwelling (P/RES/2023/03649)
A rare single-building plot on about 0.6 acres, tucked on the edge of Beaminster with direct access to open countryside and the River Brit. The site is fairly level, screened by mature trees and already has all mains services installed, saving significant time and cost for the purchaser. Reserved matters for a single dwelling were approved in August 2023 (P/RES/2023/03649), with a bespoke modern farmhouse proposed.
The planning approval covers access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for one house; purchasers should note conditions restricting use to a private single dwelling and prohibiting holiday lets. There is also a contractual expectation to complete construction and hard landscaping within 24 months of completion to minimise disruption to neighbours. The site is available freehold and has low flood risk.
This plot will suit a buyer wanting to build a substantial family home or a bespoke countryside residence within easy walking distance (5–10 minutes) of Beaminster’s historic town square, local schools and amenities. Practical benefits include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband provision and mains gas, water, electricity and drainage already in place. Buyers should be prepared to follow the agreed build location and conditions tied to the sale.
While secluded and picturesque — set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the town’s conservation area — the local area is flagged as relatively deprived, which may affect local market dynamics. The site is reached via a shared driveway off the A3066; prospective purchasers should review the planning conditions and title details carefully before committing.
