Summary - Cruxton Manor Farm, Cruxton Lane DT2 0EB
Circa 276.92 acres of mixed arable, pasture and woodland
Cruxton Manor Farm is a substantial West Dorset livestock and arable holding extending to about 276.92 acres, offered for sale as a whole or in up to eight lots. The modern farmhouse (constructed 2010) sits privately within the valley close to a range of useful agricultural buildings and yards, making the property immediately workable for commercial farming or retained as a country estate. Productive Grade 3 arable, downland pasture, water meadow frontage to the River Frome and areas of deciduous woodland add diversity and sporting appeal.
The farmhouse is well laid out with four bedrooms, principal reception rooms, double glazing and an EPC C rating; the heating is by air source heat pump with radiators and electric backup. The holding benefits from existing farm infrastructure including multiple general-purpose agricultural buildings (total circa 1,190m² for the main complex and further buildings across lots), modern grain store, access tracks and practical yards. The farm has a long-established reputation for a commercial partridge and pheasant shoot; all sporting rights (except River Frome fishing) are included and the land is entered in a Countryside Stewardship Agreement.
This sale suits multiple buyer types: commercial farmers seeking productive chalk soils and cropping history, investors or land managers wanting a mixed agricultural and sporting estate, or purchasers interested in acquiring parts for redevelopment or alternative uses (lots include buildings that may suit conversion subject to planning). Several lots have independent access and separate building groups, allowing flexible purchase options.
Important practical points: the farmhouse is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition which restricts general residential use. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — relevant for home working and rural enterprises. There is only one bathroom in the principal dwelling. Council tax for the farmhouse is band H and described as very expensive. Fishing rights on the River Frome are excluded from the sale.
