Description
** For Sale By Online Auction** Post Auction Offers Invited** Guide Price - **£60,000 - £80,000**
This is an exciting opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed former retail unit with upper floors, which offers significant potential for redevelopment. The building previously had planning permission granted which has now lapsed for conversion into a three bedroom house, providing a clear opportunity for a buyer to reinstate if desired.
The property requires significant refurbishment throughout and would suit developers, investors, or anyone looking for a project. The existing structure provides plenty of internal floor space across four floors ready for redesign and modernisation subject to permissions.
Located close to Blandford town centre and local amenities, the property offers practical potential in a convenient setting.
