Description
Site Description
A detached former Methodist church set within a plot of approximately 0.03 acres, offering scope for a variety of potential alternative uses (subject to necessary consents).

The site is enclosed by a low wall and railings to the frontage, with a hedgerow marking the south-eastern boundary. A single-storey extension lies to one side of the original chapel structure, with a narrow external strip adjoining it.

Location
Bere Heath is a rural locality within the parish of Bere Regis, Dorset, surrounded by characteristic Dorset countryside, including woodland, farmland, and heathland. This setting offers a quiet and natural environment, typical of this part of the county. Despite its rural charm, Bere Heath benefits from good transport links. The A35 bypasses the town to the north, providing direct access eastwards to the A31 and M27, and
westwards towards Exeter. The nearby mainline railway station offers regular services to both Bristol Temple Meads and London Waterloo, making the area accessible for commuters and visitors alike.
