Water Meadow Lane, East Burton, Wool

3.41 acres (1.38 hectares) of attractive meadow land with river frontage, situated in a peaceful rural position on the edge of East Burton.

The Land - The land extends to 3.41 acres (1.38 hectares) and comprises predominantly level and gently undulating meadow, offering an attractive open aspect and a range of potential amenity uses, subject to any necessary consents. The land is accessed from Water Meadow Lane, with boundaries formed by established hedgerows and fencing providing a large degree of privacy. The surrounding area is predominantly rural, with a mixture of agricultural land and residential properties.

The land has been in our client’s ownership for a number of years, during which time they have planted a substantial number of willow and poplar trees, now well established throughout parts of the meadow, offering a purchaser the opportunity for future commercial harvesting. The land may also offer potential for temporary recreational camping, subject to the necessary conditions, limitations and any required notifications or consents.

Works have also been undertaken to sections of the river bank, with the intention of reducing the risk of flooding. Several pathways have been mown around and through the meadow, providing easy access across the land, with a number of seating areas positioned at various points to make the most of the peaceful surroundings. There is vehicular access from Water Meadow Lane via a bridge, with two access points to the south-western corner of the land.

The Waterburn Channel, part of the River Frome, runs along the southern boundary.

Situation - The land is situated in a peaceful rural position, on the edge of the village of East Burton. The surrounding area is predominantly rural, with the River Frome and open countryside nearby, whilst the village provides a small number of local amenities. The nearby town of Wool provides a wider range of everyday facilities, whilst the popular coastal destinations of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are within easy reach.

The county town of Dorchester is approximately 10 miles away and provides an extensive range of shopping, recreational and commercial facilities. The area is well placed for access to the wider road network, with the A352 providing connections towards Dorchester and Wareham.
