Lot 1 at Cruxton Manor Farm is a substantial rural offering: a detached four-bedroom farmhouse (built 2010) set with four farm buildings and approximately 43.37 acres of grassland, some arable-capable fields and woodland. The house sits privately in a valley with expansive Dorset countryside views and direct access to a compact farmstead and yards. Farm buildings total about 1,190m² (12,825ft²), supporting continued agricultural use or diversification subject to consents.
This lot is best suited to an agricultural owner-occupier, established farmer or purchaser seeking an operational smallholding. The property is offered freehold with vacant possession, sporting rights (including deer stalking) run with the freehold except River Frome fishing, and the land is enrolled in a Countryside Stewardship Agreement. The location is close to Maiden Newton village and nine miles from Dorchester, with good road links to the A35/A37 and local independent/state schools nearby.
Important constraints and practical points are clear: the farmhouse is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC), restricting occupation; basic payment scheme entitlements have been retained by the vendor; broadband speeds are very slow; there is only one bathroom for a four-bedroom dwelling; and council tax banding is very expensive (band H). The property lies within the Dorset National Landscape and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone in part.
Overall, this lot offers substantial land, good farming infrastructure and privacy in an attractive West Dorset valley. It will appeal to those who can meet the AOC, value a working farm with sporting potential and accept the practical limitations of rural utilities and planning constraints.
