Cruxton Manor Farm offers a substantial parcel of productive Grade 3 arable land extending to approximately 46.43 acres. The soils are level to gently sloping and, where south-facing, capable of good cereal yields. The land has recently been in a cereal rotation with a maize crop in 2025 and remains largely easily workable for conventional arable cropping.
The holding sits in attractive West Dorset countryside within the Dorset National Landscape and adjoins the River Frome, giving amenity and sporting appeal. All sporting rights (including deer stalking) are included in the freehold except fishing on the River Frome. The land is entered into a Countryside Stewardship agreement, which may suit buyers wanting ongoing environmental stewardship options.
Practical points to note: the delinked Basic Payment Scheme payments will be retained by the vendor, and a public footpath crosses the lot. The property lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone for part of the Poole Harbour catchment. Broadband is very slow locally and mobile signal is average. The sale is by private treaty as a whole or in up to eight lots, with vacant freehold possession on completion.
This lot will suit an active farmer, arable investor or purchaser seeking productive Dorset land with sporting and amenity value. Early entry may be permitted for spring sowing at the purchaser’s risk and cost; buyers should verify rights of way, access and all scheme details prior to exchange.
