Summary - WHITE HOUSE FARM, CASTLE HILL DT2 7DE
Extensive holding: c.279.62 acres (113.16 ha) of pasture and woodland
White House Farm is a substantial rural holding of approximately 279.62 acres (113.16 ha) of pasture, woodland and a central farmstead, offering clear scope for continued agricultural use or wider diversification. The land includes 133.69 acres of productive permanent pasture and 38.70 acres of mixed ancient and commercial woodland, centred on Dungeon Hill — a scheduled ancient monument that provides commanding panoramic views across Dorset. A cluster of traditional and modern farm buildings (circa 1,289 sq m) and a period farmhouse and cottages sit at the heart of the holding.
The brick-built traditional buildings and larger modern frames present practical farm utility now and realistic potential for alternative uses, subject to planning consent. Mains electricity and water are available; sporting, timber and mineral rights are understood to be included. The varied soil (shallow loam over chalk with some heavier patches), mature hedgerows, copses and two larger woods create strong wildlife and sporting credentials, attractive to farming, forestry and amenity buyers.
Buyers should note material constraints: Dungeon Hill is a Scheduled Monument, restricting development in and around that feature; several roofs are corrugated box-profile/asbestos and the residential drainage systems are dated and not to current regulations — upgrades will be the purchaser’s responsibility. A historical arrangement provides a currently uncharged water supply but that arrangement is understood to end in around ten years. Public footpaths and byways cross the property and shared access/maintenance obligations apply to some tracks. Any alternative use of the traditional buildings will require the necessary consents (STPP).
This holding will suit a range of purchasers: an established farmer seeking productive pasture and woodland, a purchaser aiming to consolidate agricultural land, or an investor/developer looking to explore potential agricultural diversification or building conversion options (subject to planning). The mix of good road links to Sherborne and Dorchester, low local crime, and its setting within the Dorset National Landscape add long‑term amenity value, while the scheduled and ancient woodland designations shape the scope and timing of any change.
