Trafalgar Barton is a handsome Grade II Georgian estate set in almost 19 acres on the Jurassic Coast, offered as a whole or in up to nine lots. The principal house (built 1825) has been meticulously renovated, retaining high ceilings, sash windows, a grand cantilevered staircase and generous reception rooms that benefit from distant southerly sea views. Solar panels and modern comforts sit alongside period detail.
The estate currently generates income from two well-presented holiday cottages and benefits from planning permission to convert The Old Dairy into a two‑bed cottage (EDDC ref 22/2832/FUL). The Coach House and Dolls House are successful holiday lets; the holding is therefore suited to buyers seeking a rural lifestyle with established short‑let revenue, or investors looking to continue or expand the holiday business.
Important practical points are presented plainly. The property is Grade II listed, which will constrain alterations and may complicate works. There is uncertainty over private drainage compliance, several lots have no services connected, and parts of the paperwork note a high flood risk — these require thorough due diligence. Council tax on the principal house is high, and the cottages are restricted to holiday use only.
For buyers attracted to a large, characterful country estate with proven holiday income and scope to sell or redevelop in lots, Trafalgar Barton offers rare scale and setting close to Branscombe village and the coast. However, the combination of listed status, service limitations and drainage/flooding queries means this estate suits purchasers prepared to manage regulatory requirements and undertake detailed technical checks.
