DOMVS says ..
Originally part of the magnificent grounds of 18th century Kingston Maurward manor house. Choosing one of these three 4-bedroom houses (with or without the extension or garage) gives you the opportunity to custom-build your own home, and saves you thousands in Stamp Duty. Call for more detail.<...
Property Oracle says ..
This property presents a unique opportunity for a buyer seeking a substantial plot of land in a desirable Dorset location. Situated near Kingston Maurward, the property boasts proximity to two well-regarded schools and reasonable access to train stations. However, the existing structure is in a state requiring complete renovation or demolition, a significant factor impacting overall cost.
The substantial land area is a major selling point, offering the chance to create a custom-designed home. Aerial photographs clearly illustrate the extensive plot size, significantly exceeding typical residential plots in the area. This potential for development partially offsets the high list price and the costs associated with starting a new build project.
The lack of detailed information regarding the current property condition is a drawback. Prospective buyers should conduct thorough inspections and assessments to determine the actual costs associated with redevelopment before making any purchase decisions. It is crucial to obtain accurate and up-to-date building regulations information, as well as consider potential planning permission requirements for the proposed development before commitment.
The listing mentions the potential to save money on Stamp Duty compared to building from scratch, highlighting a key financial advantage in acquiring the plot as opposed to purchasing a pre-built property alone. Buyers must investigate the current market conditions and available construction costs to definitively assess the financial viability of this project. The property’s location and substantial land size are strong selling points, although the renovation or rebuild requirement represents a considerable investment.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
