Melbury Osmond, Dorchester

Versatile commercial premises comprising a workshop, office, ancillary buildings and extensive yard space, set within a secluded rural location near Yeovil, Dorchester and Sherborne.

The Property - Occupying a generous rural site within the sought-after village of Melbury Osmond, 1-3 Townsend Units provide a versatile commercial opportunity with extensive yard space and a range of buildings suitable for a variety of business uses, subject to any necessary consents.

The principal building comprises an L-shaped workshop unit with a separate office extension at one end, together with staff facilities including a kitchen and WC. The premises have most recently been occupied by a marine mechanics business and are currently configured to suit that use.

In addition to the main workshop, the property benefits from a former spray booth contained within a detached tin-clad shed, together with an A-frame building offering additional storage or workspace potential. Externally, there is substantial yard space suitable for vehicle parking, storage, manoeuvring or operational use.

The Location - Melbury Osmond enjoys a highly desirable position in the Dorset countryside, offering an attractive balance between rural surroundings and connectivity, with convenient access to Dorchester, Sherborne, Yeovil, and the A37 road network.

The property enjoys a private and attractive rural setting with only one neighbouring commercial occupier, providing a degree of seclusion rarely available in commercial premises. Residential accommodation is adjacent to the main L-shaped building, and occupiers will therefore need to operate in a manner that is considerate of neighbouring residential use.

The site offers an excellent opportunity for businesses seeking flexible workshop, storage or light industrial accommodation within a well-established estate environment, with convenient access to the surrounding towns of Dorchester, Sherborne and Yeovil.
