location:
The property lies on the north side of the A303 which is the main arterial link between Basingstoke and the M3 (junction 8) leading to the south west and Exeter where it links to the M5 motorway via the A30. This strategic location benefits from fast road links to a number of major conurbations in the area including Shaftesbury (9 miles), Warminster (11 miles), Salisbury (23 miles), Yeovil (24 miles) and Bath (28 miles). Other communications include a rail link at both Gillingham and Tisbury which provide direct services to London Waterloo. Mere itself provides a good range of local facilities whilst more comprehensive services may be found at Shaftesbury to the south or Warminster to the north.

Description:
The site is accessed directly off the A303 with this access shared by the adjoining
storage unit providing a gated and secure entrance. Located north of the existing
storage unit. The property comprises this former quarry the majority of which with the level base with a total site area extending to some 10 acres. The quarry was previously worked by Hanson whose tenancy expired in 2016. Whilst it is understood that there are approximately 135,000 tonnes of chalk available for extraction (purchasers are deemed to rely on their own enquiries in this respect) the site has a number of alternative potential uses subject to the necessary consents. Planning permission was granted on 29th June 1994 for the winning and working of chalk together with ancillary activities following which the site would be restored to an agreed restoration scheme. An alternative development of the site could be for a number of business/industrial units as shown in the computer generated images within these particulars. These images are provided for guidance purposes only and buyers are deemed to rely on their own enquiries but may wish to utilise these to take forward pre-planning advice with the local authority.

Total site area:
Approximately 10 acres.

Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1000 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.

The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.

Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.

When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
