Summary - Cruxton Manor Farm, Cruxton Lane DT2 0EB
1 bed 1 bath Land
11.19 acres of peaceful pasture beside the River Frome, ideal for conservation or grazing.
11.19 acres of level to gently sloping permanent pasture
An 11.19‑acre parcel of level-to-gently sloping permanent pasture adjoining the River Frome, offered as freehold with vacant possession. The meadow sits well away from neighbouring residences, within the Dorset National Landscape, and is entered into a Countryside Stewardship agreement—making it attractive to buyers focused on conservation, wildlife habitat and low‑intensity grazing.
The land is classified as Grades 3 and 4 and is capable of producing good grass crops for grazing or hay. It is noted for wintering wildfowl and riverside character, with sporting rights included in the sale (deer stalking and other shooting), though fishing rights on the River Frome are expressly excluded.
Practical considerations are straightforward: there is no flood risk recorded for the plot, access routes and public footpaths cross the holding, and the land is registered on the Rural Land Register. However, the vendors will retain delinked Basic Payment Scheme payments, and the farm lies partly within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone—both factors buyers should consider when budgeting and planning land use.
This lot will suit a buyer seeking a substantial, tranquil riverside pasture for conservation, low-intensity grazing, or incorporation into an existing holding. It is a rural asset offering privacy and landscape value, but expect limited broadband, remoteness from services and restrictions tied to stewardship and agricultural designations.
