A rare, Grade II listed stone building on Shaftesbury’s hilltop, La Fleur de Lys offers substantial redevelopment potential and proven guest accommodation layout. Full listed-building consent and planning approval are already in place to convert the main house into a single 5,300 sq ft residence, with alternative designs underway to create two townhouses each with parking.
The property currently provides 11 bedrooms (nine en-suite) and adaptable public rooms, plus a contemporary two-bedroom annex with independent access, air source heat pump and thermal store. Private off-street parking for several cars and a sheltered courtyard garden add useful outdoor amenity close to the town centre.
This is a strong project for investors or developers seeking a character building with consented residential change of use. Buyers must accept the responsibilities that come with Grade II listing — any alterations will require specialist conservation input and adherence to the listed consent. Note the local crime score is higher than average and the site sits in a transitional urban neighbourhood.
In short: the building is structurally substantial, well-maintained by the current owners, and offers multiple clear routes to income or residential layouts. The annex can be retained or sold separately, giving flexibility to tailor the scheme to budget and risk appetite.
