Description
The Anchor Inn lies in the centre of the picturesque village of Shapwick, East Dorset, close to the River Stour. It is five miles southeast of Blandford Forum and eight miles north of the coastal town of Poole. This small village has a charming centre with may thatched properties and a central memorial cross. The area is surrounded by beautiful, rolling Dorset countryside. The village is easily accessible from Blandford Forum and the A350 trunk road which connects Blandford Forum to the coastal town of Poole.
The area is frequented by ramblers exploring the water meadows and Badbury Rings. The Stour Valley path is a popular walk connecting the National Trust's White Mill at Sturminster Marshall with Shapwick. Another notable National Trust site is Kingston Lacy House, located nearby.
The Anchor Inn was saved from closure and is now owned by a local consortium which leases the premises to our client. It comprises a two storey, detached, brick-built public house in the village's conversation area.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
