## Description

1.53 acres (0.62 ha) of land with approximately 200 yards of single bank fishing rights, situated in a rural yet accessible location with a range of amenities nearby.

Auction - For Sale by Public Auction and via Livestream on Thursday 24 September 2026 at 2.00pm at the Digby Memorial Church Hall, Digby Road, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 3NL. Register to bid in the room, online, by telephone or by proxy via our website.

The Property - The property extends to approximately 1.53 acres (0.62 hectares) and comprises a predominantly level block of rough riverside pasture, with gently varying topography, a mixture of young and mature broadleaf trees and a diverse range of established riverside flora. The title includes half the river bed of the River Stour and benefits from approximately 200 yards of single-bank fishing rights. Offering considerable amenity and environmental appeal, the land is well-suited to a range of agricultural, conservation and recreational uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Situation - The land occupies an attractive rural position on the outskirts of Shillingstone and west of the prominent ancient hill fort Okeford Hill. Shillingstone provides a range of everyday village amenities, whilst the historic Georgian market town of Blandford Forum lies approximately 6 miles to the south and offers a wider selection of shops, services and recreational facilities.

Access - Access to the land can be gained by vehicle for agricultural purposes across adjoining, separately owned land and through the River Stour. Due to seasonal variations in river levels and flow, this access route is typically only viable during the summer months when water levels are sufficiently low. The riverbed is predominantly comprised of stone and gravel and is suitable for crossing by 4x4 or agricultural vehicle when river levels permit. Please refer to the sale plan for the route of access. Pedestrian access is available from the east, directly from the public highway. There are also a number of public car parks within the immediate vicinity of the property less than a minute walk away.
