Four Luxury Semi-Detached Homes in Iwerne Minster
Location: Iwerne Minster, Dorset
Project Type: New Build Residential Development
Status: In Progress – Completion Expected April 2026
Client: Self-Developed (Ashford & Thompson Ltd)
Ashford & Thompson Ltd are currently developing a beautiful site in the heart of Iwerne Minster, one of Dorset’s most picturesque villages. The land, formerly part of a prestigious private school estate, was acquired with full planning permission for four thoughtfully designed semi-detached family homes.Set within a secluded and peaceful plot, each home has been carefully positioned to take full advantage of the site’s natural beauty, including south-facing gardens and panoramic views across rolling countryside.
This is a flagship project that reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, detail, and delivering homes that blend rural charm with modern luxury.
The homes are currently under construction, with completion targeted for April 2026. We expect high demand upon release due to the site’s exclusivity and exceptional finish.
For early interest or enquiries, please contact Ashford & Thompson Ltd directly.
This development is designed to appeal to families, professionals, and down-sizers looking for a premium lifestyle in a rural setting, without compromising on quality or modern comforts. The setting is peaceful and private, yet well-connected to nearby towns like Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury.
We’re not just building houses—we’re creating homes that feel timeless, thoughtful, and rooted in their surroundings.
