A useful, single-enclosure block of productive arable land extending to approximately 8.08 acres on the north‑eastern side of Broadwindsor. The land is mainly level with direct highway frontage to Common Water Lane and framed by mature hedgerows, offering straightforward access and open countryside views within the Dorset National Landscape (AONB).
Soils are described as slowly permeable, seasonally wet loamy and clayey soils (Grade 3), previously cropped with wheat and maize and currently down to temporary grass. The plot is suited to continued arable production or pasture and is of a scale compatible with modern farming practices. There are small patches of Himalayan balsam along the stream boundary which will require control.
Practical considerations: there are no mains services on the land, a cropping licence remains in force until 1 October 2025 (vacant possession thereafter), and sporting and mineral rights (so far as owned) are included. The sale is by informal tender with a closing date of midday on Wednesday 3 September 2025; the vendor is not obliged to accept the highest offer and evidence of funding will be required if an offer is accepted.
This freehold plot provides a straightforward, well-located agricultural opportunity in a low-crime rural village setting. Buyers should note the AONB designation, absence of services, and the need to manage invasive balsam when planning future use.
