Situation
The property is situated in a beautiful rural position in the heart of the Dorset Downs. Cerne Abbas village, renowned for the Cerne Giant chalk figure, lies 1 mile to the east and offers a range of facilities including a primary school, a number of village shops, 3 public houses and is home to Cerne Abbas Brewery. Another popular village, Sydling St Nicholas, is 1 mile west.
The County town of Dorchester, providing a full range of retail, educational, recreational and commercial facilities, is a short drive away. Beyond this is Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast, whilst to the north are Sherborne with its excellent schools, and the larger town of Yeovil. On the doorstep are a number of footpaths, bridleways and trails perfect for exploring the countryside on foot, horseback or bicycle.
Description
Two fields of level and sloping pasture land extending to 74.33 acres (30.09 hectares). The larger 50 acre field known as Large Bar Hill rises to 223m (732ft) above sea level and provides stunning panoramic views of much of the mid Dorset countryside and beyond.
The Land
The soil is loam with flints over chalk and is classified Grade 3 on the alc. The 50 acre field is entirely workable by machinery and eminently suited to arable cropping. Within Lot 2 is a charming clump of mature beech trees which hides the remains of a flintstone barn.
Lot 2 enjoys a separate road access measuring 8m (26ft) wide which leads to a small level area suitable for erecting a barn, subject to consent.
Tenure
Freehold with vacant possession on completion.
Material Information
Two public footpaths cross the land, see sale plan.
The property is located in the Dorset National Landscape Area and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. The farm is not entered in a Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
Planning permission was secured for the importation of inert material to fill land in two areas in field 1128. This was not completed and accounts for the presence of the spoil heap at the entrance to that field.
If sold in lots the buyer of Lot 1 will:
I) erect a stockproof fence between points abc on the plan
ii) allow an easement for Lot 2 to connect to the borehole water supply and pay for water used at Wessex Water rates.
