Charlton Marshall, Blandford Forum, Dorset, DT11

Rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a single building plot of about 1.47 acres, with detailed planning permission for a spectacular ultra-modern architect designed home.

Description

An exceptionally rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a single building plot of about 1.47 acres with the benefit of full planning permission for the erection of a stunning brand-new contemporary residence. The plot incorporates the beautiful walled kitchen garden of the neighbouring Charlton Barrow House, and enjoys an impressive approach along the main house driveway flanked by woodland and pasture.

The proposed new house will extend to almost 4500 ft2 arranged over 2 floors, and has been cleverly designed by renowned DMW Architects to take full advantage of the far reaching view westward across the glorious surrounding Dorset countryside. The approved design includes a reception hall with sweeping staircase and a gallery bridge over, guest cloakroom, intercommunicating sitting room, dining room, snug and kitchen providing a large open plan living area, together with a utility room, twin study areas, and a bedroom and bathroom suite on the ground floor. On the first floor are a galleried landing with connecting bridge, principal suite with bedroom, dressing room and bathroom, and two further bedrooms each with en suite facilities.

Incorporated into the design is an elegant swimming/ lap pool set into the terrace below the main living area.

The plot extends to just under 1.5 acres and is bounded on the west side by open farmland. It includes the landscaped walled kitchen garden, the existing coach house, a former industrial outbuilding and large tarmacadam hardstanding. The planning consent requires the demolition of the existing buildings, and that the tarmacadam hardstanding is taken up to become a natural landscape or meadow. The planning consent includes the provision of a new double garage and workshop block.


Full details of the planning permission can be found on the Dorset Council website.
