Land for sale

Steephouse Drove, Witchampton, Wimborne BH21

For sale by Auction: A site measuring approximately 0.52 acres with a range of outbuildings, adjoining residential dwellings in the popular village of Witchampton.

The Site

Located within the desirable village of Witchampton, this interesting site extends to approximately 0.52 acres and comprises several outbuildings arranged within a brick built block, two of which have previously been sold and therefore do not form part of the property being offered for sale (as identified on the sale plan). A further, larger outbuilding is situated towards the south-eastern boundary of the site.

The land comprises an access track with a parking area serving the adjoining residential properties, with the remainder of the land divided into two main areas .

The area to the south of the site is thought to provide possible future development potential (subject to planning permission), and as far as we understand, the site will be sold free of any overage provisions and restrictive covenants.

Agents Notes

The access track from the public highway, to the north of the site was historically sold without any express rights being reserved; however, the land is considered to benefit from implied rights of way.

Our client is responsible for maintaining the section of the access that falls within the land to be sold with the same obligation to be passed on to the purchaser. No maintenance by our client is known to have been undertaken, and the track is currently in good condition. We understand that our client, and any successor in title, may designate alternative parking spaces, provided sufficient parking is retained to accommodate each property’s permitted allocation.

The land is within the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs National Landscape (aonb), the Conservation Area.

The buyer will be required to contribute £2,000 plus VAT towards the seller's fees.
