Longford Road, Thornford, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9

A detached bungalow with approximately 4.57 acres and outbuildings – full renovation / redevelopment opportunity. For Sale by Informal Tender closing date for offers Tuesday 14th July at 12 noon.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a detached two-bedroom bungalow set within approximately 4.57 acres (1.85 hectares), together with a substantial barn and a range of additional outbuildings, positioned in an attractive rural setting on the edge of Thornford with open countryside views.
The property is offered in dilapidated condition and requires complete renovation throughout, providing significant scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration or replacement, subject to the necessary planning consents. The combination of a generous plot, redundant structures and existing buildings creates clear potential for redevelopment or alternative uses.
The bungalow extends to approximately 1,496 sq ft (138.9 sq m), excluding the store, and is arranged over a single storey. The current accommodation includes a sitting room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, utility room, two bedrooms and bathroom facilities. While the layout offers flexibility, the property is now in poor condition and is best suited to purchasers seeking a comprehensive project.

The property is offered for sale by informal tender, with a closing date for offers on Tuesday 14th July at 12 noon. Further details and tender documentation are available from the selling agents.
Viewing is strictly by appointment with the sole agents, Greenslade Taylor Hunt.

Eaglemead occupies an accessible yet rural position along Longford Road, just outside the village of Thornford, while remaining conveniently located for the nearby town of Sherborne, which provides a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, schools, leisure facilities and a mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo and Exeter

In addition to the principal dwelling, the property benefits from outbuildings extending to approximately 1,863 sq ft (173 sq m), including a substantial barn situated adjacent to the bungalow, along with further structures which are now redundant and in a dilapidated state. These buildings may offer potential for replacement or repurposing, subject to the appropriate consents.
The grounds extend to approximately 4.57 acres and comprise garden areas, yard space and pasture land, largely situated to the rear of the property. The land has its own independent access and presents an appealing opportunity for those seeking smallholding or equestrian use, or simply the privacy and amenity associated with a rural holding.
