Lot 4 at Steppes Farm offers a substantial and versatile holding of 17.64 acres combining 15.17 acres of pasture with 2.47 acres of shelterbelt woodland. The land is level to gently sloping, free-draining on shallow lime-rich soils over chalk/limestone (Grade 3), with stream frontage to the north and all sporting, timber and mineral rights understood to be included. The woodland is available with vacant possession on completion; the pasture is let under a Farm Business Tenancy with vacant possession available from 1 November 2025 (valid notice served).
This parcel sits within the Dorset National Landscape and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, making it attractive for low-intensity pastoral use, amenity planting or wider estate consolidation. Practical features include a private water supply, excellent mobile signal and a bridleway crossing the land. Access arrangements include a conditional right of access over the southern edge of Lot 1 if Lot 4 is sold separately; note access to Lot 1 itself runs over third-party land.
Buyers should note there are no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements or existing environmental stewardship agreements attached to the sale. Broadband speeds are very slow locally.
