Cruxton Manor Farmhouse is a substantial, detached four-bedroom farmhouse set within Lot 1 extending to approximately 43.37 acres. Constructed in 2010 in a traditional style, the house offers well-proportioned living spaces including a kitchen, dining room and sitting room, with far-reaching Dorset valley and River Frome views. Adjoining farm buildings total about 1,190m², providing significant scope for agricultural, equestrian or diversification uses.
This freehold farm is offered chain free but is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC), which restricts occupation. The land includes a mix of productive grassland (some arable-capable), woodland and established hedgerows. The holding sits within the Dorset National Landscape and benefits from low local crime, good privacy and sporting appeal; fishing rights on the River Frome are excluded and some public footpaths cross the property.
Practical considerations are clear: the property uses air-source heat pump heating and electricity mains, double glazing has been installed, and the farmhouse currently rates EPC C and council tax band H (noted as very expensive). Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and mobile signal is average. The farm participates in a Countryside Stewardship Agreement and sits partially within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone; Basic Payment Scheme delinked payments will be retained by the vendors.
This lot will suit buyers seeking a working smallholding or a rural residential base with substantial outbuildings and land, particularly those comfortable with AOC restrictions and the responsibilities of managing a mixed agricultural holding. Viewings and further technical details (services, rights and sporting arrangements) are available on request.
