42 acres of farmland on the edge of Motcombe, with planning permission for a contemporary new house.
Description
The site is currently occupied by a large barn with a portal steel frame structure (25m x 18m).
Planning permission (P/FUL/2021/02526) has been granted for the demolition of the existing barn to be replaced with a new contemporary low-profile, single storey and part-two storey five bedroom dwelling (total gross internal floor area approximately 4,200 sq ft / 390 sq m) with a detached carport outbuilding.
Externally, the property will be arranged around a courtyard linked by a feature colonnade shading the glazing to the main living spaces, which comprises a spacious reception hall, sitting room, study, snug and open plan kitchen/dining room. The principal bedroom will occupy the two-storey space over the study and snug, while the main bedroom wing will incorporate four double bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms, and a family bathroom. There will also be a boot room and utility room.
OUTSIDE
The site stands on the northern edge of Motcombe, outside of the Conservation Area. It is currently approached over a track leading to a large area of hard-standing, providing parking for multiple vehicles. The planned dwelling will be situated between two natural grass bunds, providing a secluded setting, and will be surrounded by a formal garden with additional planting to add to the existing mature hedgerow and trees, featuring paved terraces and a bespoke colonnade, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. It is all arranged to enjoy the stunning south-facing views over surrounding countryside.
The land is mainly down to pasture, divided by mature hedgerows and interspersed with belts of trees and small ponds, providing amenity and structure to the land.
Location
The village of Motcombe is a designated Conservation Area and a sought-after village, nestled in a pretty position beneath the hills of the Blackmore Vale, between Shaftesbury and Gillingham. It has an active community with a recreation ground, church, pub, primary school, community shop with café and post office and a village hall, which hosts various activities, including cinema nights. Clubs in the village include fitness clubs and a gardeners club.
Shaftesbury is approximately two miles from the village and Gillingham just over three miles. Both towns provide an extensive range of amenities, including supermarkets, independent shops, doctors, dental surgeries and vets. The nearby villages of Semley and Tisbury also offer an array of boutique and independent retailers, with Tisbury offering a wonderful selection of artisan producers along their high street. Gillingham has a frequent train service to Waterloo (journey time approximately two hours).
The beautiful Cathedral city of Salisbury (23 miles) offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants, arts and recreational facilities. Trains from Salisbury to London Waterloo have a journey time of approximately 90 minutes.
Racing is available at Salisbury Racecourse and Wincanton and golf at Rushmore and Bullpits in Gillingham.
The A303 provides access to the south west and London, via the M3.
There is a wide selection of both state and private schools in the area, including Port Regis Prep School in Motcombe itself, Hazlegrove, Hanford, Kings Bruton, Sherborne, Bryanston and Gillingham School for state secondary education.
