Key Features

  • Development Site
  • Subject To Planning Permission
  • Adjacent to a Larger Residential Development

Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a development site extending to approximately 0.436 acres, located in the sought-after Dorset village of Marnhull, near Sturminster Newton.

The site is offered subject to planning permission and presents the potential for the construction of five new dwellings, comprising four semi-detached houses and one detached house.

The opportunity is available by way of an outright land sale or, alternatively, the vendor would consider proposals for a joint venture arrangement, offering flexibility to developers seeking to partner on the delivery of the scheme.

Positioned adjacent to a larger proposed residential development, the site is expected to benefit from the wider area's ongoing growth and investment.

Marnhull is one of Dorset's most desirable villages, offering a range of local amenities, primary schooling, public houses and countryside walks, whilst providing convenient access to Sturminster Newton, Shaftesbury and the surrounding market towns.

The opportunity presents the chance to create a thoughtfully designed residential scheme in a highly regarded and established Dorset location.
