Description
For sale by Auction: A site extending to 0.07 acres, formerly comprising two residential properties and adjacent land, situated in an elevated position in Fortuneswell.

The site occupies an elevated position on Fortuneswell’s High Street, within easy reach of a range of local amenities.
Part of the site has possessory freehold title only.
Local Architect, Crickmays Stark, produced in draft a preliminary Design and Access Statement for Dorset Council which shows a 6 apartment scheme and this will be provided in the legal pack for information purposes only. No planning application was made following production of the Design and Access Statement and no representation is given that the Crickmay Stark indicative design or something similar would be acceptable in planning terms.
Full planning permission was granted in February 2025 for the demolition of the existing dwellings under Planning Ref. P/PPRD/2024/07247. No planning application has been submitted for a replacement scheme, and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding future development potential.
Situation - Occupying a convenient position in the heart of Fortuneswell on the Isle of Portland, within easy reach of a range of local shops, cafés, supermarkets, schools, and everyday amenities.
