Build a unique home in ancient woodland
July 2024
An exceptional opportunity to create a contemporary four-bedroom home in a secluded woodland location is being offered by development land and planning specialists Greenslade Taylor Hunt.
The old limekiln sawmill at Dinnington, near Hinton St George, offers an outstanding glimpse into the heritage of this special site.
Some parts of the former sawmill are in relatively good condition and are suitable for conversion to residential use, while others will need replacing in accordance with the residential planning permission in place.
Interesting features such as oak beams, original ironwork and the former limekiln itself, with its old brickwork, add to the sense of history surrounding this unusual property.
The proposed new home which will incorporate some of the former sawmill buildings plus extensions will extend to around 211.91 sq m (2,281 sq ft). Planning consent was granted in March 2024 for a substantial four-bedroom home in this idyllic location.
The grounds encircling the old sawmill include mostly hardwood trees as well as a charming meadow above the sawmill, where orchids and wildflowers flourish.
It is on the market at a guide price of offers in the region of £500,000.
A second lot comprising Holcombe Copse, including Spear Copse, is available separately or as a whole with the sawmill, extending to 23.58 hectares (58.27 acres) at a guide of offers in the region of £850,000. The woodland alone is guided at offers in the region of £350,000.
The woodland enjoys glorious views of the Somerset countryside, including Glastonbury Tor and the Blackdown Hills.
It is noted for its swathes of English Bluebells, which dominate in the Spring, and is divided by picturesque woodland rides, which adds to its considerable appeal.
The woodland, which has separate access off Kingstone Road comprises a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees.
