A PLOT of land with ‘far reaching’ views over surrounding Dorset countryside sold for nearly £100,000 in auction.
0.39 acres of level land is positioned in a secluded but accessible location off Frome Lane, between Maiden Newton and Frome Vauchurch, near the A37.
Auctioneers Symonds and Sampson placed a guide price of £35,000 on the plot of land, which could possibly be redeveloped subject to planning permission from Dorset Council.
A property brochure states the rural plot has ‘far reaching views’ over surrounding countryside and the River Frome.
A small building previously used for forestry and log processing is situated to the north of the land.
After a number of bids, the land sold for £92,000.
The auction raised more than £1 million in sales as land, houses and commercial properties were sold.
