Chaffeymoor Farm presents a rare smallholding opportunity in Bourton: a Grade II listed c.1800 farmhouse (four bedrooms) attached to a two‑bed cottage, with planning and listed building consent already granted to convert farm buildings into three further dwellings plus a home office and garage block. The site extends to about 1.74 acres with an option to buy an extra 2.12 acres; generous private gardens, a large courtyard and multiple stone outbuildings create scope for family use, lettings or a small rural development scheme.
The farmhouse requires full renovation and will demand specialist listed‑building work and probable higher repair costs; the property currently records just one bathroom across the combined buildings and some modern barns are to be demolished under the approved scheme. Dorset Council granted full planning permission (P/FUL/2023/00247) and listed building consent (P/LBC/2023/00248) in January 2024 for the barn conversions and refurbishment, removing the planning uncertainty for conversion but not the obligations of listed‑status repairs.
Practical strengths include mains water, mains electricity, mains drainage, superfast Wessex fibre and excellent mobile signal; off‑street and covered parking is proposed for each new unit. Note an overage clause applies to part of the land — 25% of any uplift in value for 25 years if further residential consent is secured — and the listed status will require adherence to heritage conditions. For a buyer comfortable with listed renovation or a developer experienced with rural conversions, this offers immediate consented potential in an affluent, low‑crime village setting close to the A303 and AONB countryside.
