The Site
The 7.05 acre (2.58 ha) brownfield site is located in open countryside yet in close proximity to the popular North Dorset villages of Okeford Fitzpaine (850m west) and Shillingstone (1.1km east).
The previous use was light industrial and the site is now offered with vacant possession.
The site is bound to the north by Shillingstone Lane which provides the site with vehicular access. To the north and south is open countryside and to the east and west lie linear pockets of development, of which this site forms a part, linking the two villages.
The Location
The site is situated within walking distance of the village centre of both Okeford Fitzpaine and Shillingstone via a footpath that connects the two.
Okeford Fitzpaine has a village shop and pub and the larger village of Shillingstone provides a CoOp, tea room, nursery and primary school along with various other amenities.
The A350 is nearby, providing good connections to Blandford Forum (15 mins), Poole (32 mins) and Shaftesbury (18 mins). The A303 can be reached in 30 mins.
The rail network can be accessed via Sherborne or Gillingham with journey times to London Waterloo from 1hr 54mins.
