This compact freehold parcel sits just off Dalwoods in the heart of Sherborne, offered for sale by public auction and livestream on 12 December 2025. The rectangular, walled plot extends to approximately 214 sq m (circa 2,304 sq ft) and retains mains water, drainage and electric connections on site. Its established stone boundary walls and rear trees give a sheltered, private town-fringe aspect close to shops, train links and local amenities.
The land is best suited to reinstatement as a private garden, allotment or small residential extension, or for redevelopment subject to planning permission. It has previously been identified within Sherborne’s potential development sites for review, which indicates interest but does not guarantee consent. Buyers should be aware the plot lies within a conservation area, so proposals are likely to face stricter design and conservation controls.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the plot is generally level, cleared of major structures aside from a small timber shed, but will need clearance and landscaping to be brought into use. There is no apparent flooding risk. The sale will proceed at auction (public notice/repossession applies), so purchasers should obtain independent legal and planning advice and be prepared for an expeditious completion timetable.
This is a rare, small town-centre opportunity for purchasers seeking added private amenity or a tight-footprint redevelopment in a well-served Dorset market town. Its constraints — conservation area status, small size and requirement for planning — are balanced by mains services on site and a central Sherborne location.
