The Property

Enjoying a rural location adjoining farmland, this former Wessex Water reservoir site extends to 0.23 acres and comprises a detached, rendered brick building measuring approximately 355sqft. (33sqm.), together with a former reservoir. The building appears to be in poor structural condition and the condition of the reservoir is unknown.

There is direct road access from Cherry Orchard Lane and a mains water supply. The site and building provide excellent scope for a range of uses, subject to planning permission.

Situation

The site is located on the edge of the Blackmore Vale in Dorset’s beautiful rolling countryside and enjoys views across across adjoining farmland.

The A30 is 0.5 miles to the north.
