Hi Kieren,
It is not possible to retrieve reference sequences from the Ensembl
mart as this mart is feature centric (i.e. gene centric) and is used
to pull out a feature and its corresponding attributes.

Sequence>Attributes section there does not appear to be this option.
Options include coding region, flanking sequence, transcripts etc
but no options for the entire unannotated reference DNA sequence.
Many thanks
