Features and description
LOT 4: Attractive agricultural land with conservation and sporting appeal – 74.31 acres
A useful block of land with outstanding views and varied topography to include an attractive downland valley. Consisting of predominantly downland permanent pasture, suitable for the year-round grazing of livestock, but also including areas historically used to grow game cover. Lot 4 also includes an area of deciduous woodland, recognised by Natural England as significant on the Priority Habitat Inventory. This lot provides an opportunity for a purchaser to enjoy a range of land uses.
SITUATION
The sought after location of Cruxton within the rolling West Dorset countryside, surrounded by steep sided valleys and bordered by the River Frome, provides an attractive opportunity with further sporting and amenity appeal.
