Village homes for 80% of market price
Over the past decade, ‘affordable homes’ is a word bandied around developer circles and councils big and small, but the reality is often met with disappointment from prospective house buyers everywhere. But imagine if you will if you could own 100 per cent of your very own home, which stands in a small development in one of the most beautiful villages in Dorset and is priced at 20 per cent lower than the market value? Sounds unlikely, right? Perhaps not.
Pennyfarthing Homes has built a stunning collection of shiny, new two, three and four bedroom semi-detached and detached homes at Spring Meadows in the stunning village of Fontmell Magna, with two styles carrying a Discount Market Unit for people already living in Dorset.

The Setwood and The Stockwood start with a price tag of £252,000 and £280,000 respectively.
The buyer will own 100 per cent of the property with no further rent to pay.
There are just 30 homes, all traditionally constructed, including timber windows and solar panels. Most homes boast farmland views and with pedestrian access directly to the primary school, they are perfect for young families. The village itself is simply beautiful. Without sounding like a cliché, it is a genuine hidden gem with around 700 or so residents, nestled between Cranborne Chase and the Blackmore Vale. The Sales Suite is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am5pm, at the Symonds & Sampson estate agent office on 7 Market Place, Blandford Forum, Dorset, DT11 7AH. The Show Home is ready to view by appointment only. Get in touch today on 01747 859903.
