Bowridge Hill, Gillingham, Dorset, SP8

Development plot with class Q planning permission ( under appeal ) for conversion to residential.

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a stunning barn conversion project with planning permission granted at appeal. Occupying an elevated position, the site allows for the creation of two bespoke dwellings with designated garden areas and accompanying paddock land. Full access is over a shared driveway, so please make sure your book an appointment to view.
While the existing permission is in place, there is tremendous scope to submit a revised application to alter the design and layout, tailoring the final build to your exact specifications and lifestyle requirements if embarking on a self-build venture.

(Planning Ref: P/PAAC/2026/01142).

A public footpath crosses the driveway - see blue line.

For those requiring financing, specialized self-build lenders are available, and our team is fully equipped to steer prospective buyers toward expert financial advice.

Please note that our client is offering this property to the market for a limited time only and is actively pursuing their own variation of the existing planning permission.

The Situation
The property is located at the desirable Bowridge Hill on the outskirts of the popular town of Gillingham. The Town offers services to cater for most everyday requirements including Waitrose, Asda and Lidl supermarkets, pharmacy, bank, post office, doctors surgery, pubs and cafes. Gillingham enjoys a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo (2 Hours) and is located just 4 miles from the A303 giving access to the South West and London via the M3, whilst the A350 provides access to the coast. The area provides a number of highly regarded state and private primary and secondary schools and numerous countryside pursuits including, golf, horse riding, cycling and sports centres.

AML
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.







Services are close by as we understand and there would be a need to install a foul drainage treatment plant and electricity connection. We believe mains water is on site.
