KINGS WOOD FARM
ABOUT KINGS WOOD FARM
Kings Wood Farm is a collection of 6 new houses and 2 renovated houses on a redundant farm site between Shaftesbury and Gillingham, Dorset. 350 years ago the whole area, some 3,000 acres, was Gillingham Royal Forest. King Charles I decided it was too expensive to run and ordered the deforestation. Some of the oak trees still survive today, and one at Waters Edge is believed to be over 600 years old. There are panoramic east and south views for 4 miles in both directions.
The area is blessed with numerous great pubs, restaurants, farm shops and visitor attractions nearby, notably The Newt and Stourhead. The A303 is 4 miles away and the mainline station with a direct line to London Waterloo is 1 mile. Gillingham has the station, supermarkets including Waitrose and good schools, while Shaftesbury has the character, charm, boutique shops and cafes. Sustrans cycle route 253 passes by the site and picks up route 25 to Poole.
THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM
The designs for the scheme were completed by Orme Architects, while Whiteacre Planning did the complex planning work and Williamson Engineers designed all the structural work. Spire Building Control oversee the work to ensure it meets modern day compliance requirements.
The developers, Nigel and Heather Bell, pull all this together and build the houses with their skilled team of ground workers, masons, carpenters, plumbers and electricians. They have built over 120 similar houses, and you can tour them using a what3words map they have put together. The business is named J.T. Castle Limited after Nigel's grandfather.
