Lot 5 is a substantial 13.02‑acre water meadow with direct frontage to the River Frome and a modern steel portal‑frame grain store with a useful yard and turning area for large vehicles. Classified as Grade 3 and 4 land, it suits continued agricultural use, grazing or storage, and offers scope for alternative uses subject to planning consent. The setting within rolling West Dorset countryside and the Dorset National Landscape adds amenity and sporting appeal.
The grain store and practical yard provide immediate utility for agricultural operators or contractors needing machinery access and hardstanding. The land lies within an existing Countryside Stewardship Agreement, and basic payment scheme entitlements have been retained by the vendors—buyers should factor ongoing scheme commitments and any transfer complexities into their plans.
Important constraints: fishing rights on the River Frome are excluded, broadband speeds are very slow, and part of the holding lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. Alternative use or development would require obtaining the necessary planning permissions; purchasers should make their own enquiries on rights of way, services and any environmental/designation implications.
This lot will appeal to farming businesses seeking riverside meadow and storage facilities, investors or specialists looking for a functional rural parcel with scope for change. Its proximity to Maiden Newton and Dorchester gives access to local services while retaining the privacy and character of a remote Dorset setting.
