Beacon Hill Lane, Wimborne, BH21

The Property
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a characterful four-bedroom cottage with equestrian facilities, business potential and grazing land in a sought-after Dorset village. Offered with no forward chain, this unique property provides a wonderful combination of rural living, flexible accommodation and opportunities for those looking to run a business from home. The acre of paddock is highly likely to be accepted for planning permission for upto 6 x 3 bedroom houses in the near future. (Uplift as covenant 20% of likely £1million value with planning over 15 yrs). Which adds great future potential value to this property.

Believed to date back to the 17th century, the cottage retains plenty of charm and character while benefiting from later extensions. The property is no longer Grade II listed, offering greater flexibility for prospective purchasers, subject to the usual planning and building regulations.

The current owner has operated a veterinary practice and pet-grooming business from the site, with two portable cabins providing dedicated working space. The setup could appeal to buyers looking to continue an existing business, establish a new home-based venture or make use of the property's versatile facilities.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property offers particularly exciting possibilities. There are two 12ft x 12ft stables, a separate tack room and grazing land, with the possibility of up to eight acres by longer-term rental agreement. One of the standout features is the direct access to Upton Heath at the end of the lane, allowing riders to enjoy hacking without needing to cross busy roads.

Outside & Additional Facilities

The property benefits from a large garage with inspection pit, off-road parking and space to accommodate a horsebox. The grounds enjoy open views to the rear, adding to the peaceful rural setting.

Also included is a four-wheel-drive tractor fitted with a grass topper and a four-way front bucket, providing useful equipment for maintaining the grazing and managing hedges.

Further features include security cameras around the property and an outdoor Tiki bar, adding a distinctive touch to this already unusual home.

Location

Situated in a popular rural village, the property enjoys a convenient position close to local schools, amenities, bus and train services, with a country pub directly opposite.

The nearby Upton Heath offers wonderful opportunities for riding, walking and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The beautiful Dorset coastline and Jurassic Coast are also within easy reach.

Poole and Wimborne are readily accessible via the A31 and A35, with Bournemouth approximately 15–20 minutes away by car.

A Unique Opportunity

Whether you are looking for an equestrian home, a property with established home-business facilities or simply a character cottage with land and potential, this is a rare opportunity in a highly desirable Dorset location.

The vendor has indicated potential for future development of four to six homes, subject to planning permission and all necessary consents. This should be treated as an opportunity for further investigation rather than an established development consent.

The owner is relocating overseas and is keen to sell, making this an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking something genuinely different.

Offered with no forward chain. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
