No onward chain
A superb opportunity to purchase a Victorian semi-detached property requiring full modernisation.
For sale by informal tender.
A fantastic opportunity to acquire an attractive semi-detached cottage in need of updating and modernising in a sought after village. The vendor has been successful in obtaining planning consent for a new residential dwelling in the garden. For a buyer of both lots, not only do they gain control but they can renovate the cottage to live in whilst building the house.
The Cottage (lot 1)
A handsome red brick semi-detached cottage offering two receptions, a large family bathroom with shower and a kitchen breakfast room on the ground floor. The stairs rise from the hall to a small landing giving access to three bedrooms. Certainly there is scope to remodel and or extend the cottage further. At the rear, the wash house could be incorporated into additional accommodation. Outside is a cottage garden at the front and side path leads to the rear garden with a pleasant outlook onto the field behind.
The Plot (lot 2)
The building plot is situated in garden land adjacent to Chantry Cottage. Planning has been granted for a four bedroom detached property. A potential buyer should familiarise themselves with the conditions attached to the planning permission.
The plot is a very rare find in a popular village such as Semley
Additional Land
The Vendor is offering an additional 1 acre of land for sale. The land would abutt the back of the cottage and plot as outlined in orange on the plan. The land would be subject to an uplift in the event of planning permission being granted for a residential property. The uplift would be 30% over 30 years.
The Situation
Semley is a desirable village enjoying lovely countryside on its doorstep but with the convenience of everyday amenities a short distance away. The village offers a popular public house, the village church, primary school, nursery at the village hall and small convenience/bakery store. All everyday amenities including, doctors surgeries, dentist, supermarkets and a choice of national and independent retailers can be found in Tisbury and the market town of Shaftesbury, both 4 miles by car. Tisbury also benefits from a mainline railway station offering services to London Waterloo within 2 hours. The wider area offers a large choice of state and independent primary and secondary schools. Local leisure activities include numerous leisure centres, shooting, golf, horse riding, and various arts and crafts clubs. Communication links are excellent with the A350 being a short distance and the A303 which runs to London and the West country approximately 6 miles from the property.

Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (aml) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property. W&W use a specialist service called "Guild 365" to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
