Summary - Cruxton Manor Farm, Cruxton Lane DT2 0EB
Approximately 276.92 acres (c.112.07 ha) of productive arable and pasture
Cruxton Manor Farm is a substantial West Dorset holding of c.276.92 acres (c.112.07 ha) centred on a modern four-bedroom farmhouse (built 2010) and a large range of agricultural buildings. Productive Grade 3 chalky arable, permanent pasture, downland and deciduous woodland combine to offer genuine commercial farming potential together with strong sporting and amenity value. The land adjoins the River Frome and sits within attractive rolling valleys and the Dorset National Landscape.
The farmhouse is a detached, well-laid-out four-bedroom dwelling served by air-source heat pump heating, underground gas infrastructure to outlying rearing sheds, double glazing and an EPC rating C. Farm buildings total approximately 1,190m² (12,825ft²) in the primary yard with further outbuildings across the estate, providing useful operational space or opportunities for change of use subject to planning. Lots are offered as a whole or in up to eight parcels, giving flexibility for purchasers and investors.
Important restrictions and practical points are clear: the farmhouse is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC), which limits who may occupy the dwelling; fishing rights on the River Frome are excluded; delinked Basic Payment Scheme payments will be retained by the vendors; and the farm lies partly within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — relevant for those planning remote working. Council tax on the farmhouse is high (Band H).
This holding will suit an operational farmer, investor or sporting buyer seeking a mixed arable/livestock unit with established shooting heritage and good access to local markets and schools. Purchasers should factor in the AOC, retained payments, and any planning work needed for building conversions or alternative uses.
