Lot 2 at Cruxton Manor Farm offers a substantial block of commercial farmland totalling 86.11 acres split into six enclosures, combining arable and permanent pasture. The chalky, free-draining soils are proven productive under cereal rotation and supported an impressive maize crop in 2025, making this parcel immediately suitable for continued cropping or mixed farming. Two general-purpose agricultural storage buildings and two access tracks provide practical working infrastructure.
The holding is predominantly Grade 3 with a small area of Grade 4 grassland and has year-round grazing history. All sporting rights (excluding River Frome fishing rights) are included with the freehold. The land lies within the Dorset National Landscape and benefits from attractive rolling valley scenery and proximity (under 1 mile) to Maiden Newton for basic services; Dorchester is 9 miles south for wider facilities.
Buyers should note several practical and legal considerations: delinked Basic Payment Scheme funds have been retained by the vendors; the farm is entered into a Countryside Stewardship Agreement which may impose management commitments; parts of the holding lie within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone; public footpaths and bridleways cross the land. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average — important for remote working or precision-agriculture connectivity.
The freehold is offered with vacant possession and early entry can be allowed for spring tillage at the purchaser’s risk and cost. This lot suits commercial farmers, mixed-enterprise operators or investors seeking a productive Dorset block with established access, storage and immediate cropping potential.
