Description
An additional parcel of land is being offered for sale as an option by auction. This area extends to approximately 16.0m x 5.50m and benefits from the close proximity of all main services.
Auction - For sale by Public Auction and via Livestream on Wednesday 26 August at 2:00pm at The Digby Memorial Church Hall, Digby Road, Sherborne and via Livestream. Register to bid in the room, online, by telephone or by proxy via our website.
Land - Lot B - To the south side of the main plot, an additional parcel of land is being offered for sale as an option by auction. This area extends to approximately 16.0m x 5.50m and benefits from the close proximity of all main services.
This option land will be available at auction for a guide price of £25,000. Should it not be secured alongside the main plot, it will be offered separately within the auction.
Whilst no formal discussions have been held with the local planning authority in respect of this parcel, it lies within the defined development boundary for Sherborne, where there is generally a presumption in favour of development. The site is situated outside the conservation area, yet remains conveniently close to the town’s amenities.
A preliminary sketch scheme has been prepared, illustrating the potential for a traditional, vernacular-style two-bedroom cottage. The proposed design indicates accommodation extending to approximately 860 sq ft, together with a modest courtyard or garden space.
Lot B is marked out in green on the promap.
Agents Note - Please note, at the auction, the buyer of Lot A will have the first option to purchase Lot B for a fixed price of £25,000. If the buyer of Lot A does not purchase, then Lot B will be offered to the room.
