Methodist Church, Partway Lane, Hazelbury Bryan, Sturminster Newton, Dorset, DT10 2DP
Key Features
This former Methodist Church was originally constructed in 1863, with an extension to include a school room being built in the late 19th Century. The property is situated in the sought after Dorset village of Hazelbury Bryan, approximately five miles south west of Sturminster Newton and 12 miles West of Blandford Forum. The village of Hazelbury Bryan offers local amenities including a post office, village store, pub and primary school.
The premises sits on a plot of 0.16 hectares (0.39 acres) with views over surrounding fields and Planning Permission has been granted to convert the Chapel into a three/four bedroom residential dwelling. After the development works have been carried out, the house will ideally be suited to a family for occupation or for addition to a holiday rental portfolio.
Beyond the main garden and parking area the property includes a further parcel of land which may provide scope and potential for future development or income-producing uses such as short term holiday letting or a possible small-holding, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
