Set on a large, secluded plot on a quiet farm lane near Middlemarsh, this property offers genuine redevelopment or renovation potential. The existing two‑storey cottage is visibly derelict and overgrown; buyers should be prepared for substantial repair work or demolition to create a new home to personal specification. A planning application exists and full site drawings, elevations and floorplans are available for review.
The setting delivers privacy, countryside views and a short walk to the Hunter’s Moon Inn. Sherborne, Dorchester and several well‑regarded schools are within a 12–20 minute drive, making the plot suitable for buyers seeking rural living with accessible amenities. Broadband speeds are reported fast; mobile signal is average.
Important practical points: the cottage requires full refurbishment or demolition; services may need reinstating and an independent structural survey is recommended. The site is freehold and in an area of low crime, but the plot carries a medium flood risk which should be investigated by prospective buyers and insurers.
This opportunity will suit developers, experienced renovators or buyers wanting to build a bespoke country home. Viewings are informal and limited to the marked plot only — there is no safe access into the derelict building itself.
