Summary - Steppes Farm, Frampton DT2 9NJ
Approximately 15.34 acres of pasture and parkland
Steppes Farm is a handsome late-18th-century farmhouse set in about 15.34 acres of parkland and pasture within the Frampton Park landscape. The main house, sympathetically converted in the 1990s, offers large reception rooms, a conservatory, and seven bedrooms across two floors, with attractive flint and brick elevations and a galleried landing. An adjoining two-bedroom cottage with independent access provides flexible accommodation for multigenerational use, staff, or rental income.
Practical, lower-cost energy measures have been installed in recent years: a solar array, air-source heat pump and an EV charging point reduce running costs and reflect the property’s rural sustainability credentials. Substantial outbuildings and a steel portal-frame agricultural building (approx. 131.82 sq m) suit storage, small-scale equestrian use or other rural enterprises (subject to planning).
The setting is a defining feature — mature gardens, terraces and a copse give privacy, while the surrounding fields and valley provide grazing and scope for paddocks. Access is along a private track through parkland; two public bridleways cross the land. Vacant possession of the house, cottage and garden is available on completion; pasture land is currently let under a Farm Business Tenancy with vacant possession available from 1 November 2025 (notice served).
Buyers should note practical constraints: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is excellent but not a substitute for high-speed internet; council tax is band G and described as quite expensive. The property sits in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and within Dorset’s National Landscape, which brings planning sensitivities for substantial change. Overall, Steppes Farm will suit a family or buyer seeking a private country estate with versatile ancillary accommodation and strong rural character.
