Land for sale

Friar Waddon, Weymouth, Dorset DT3

Corton Farm presents 167 acres of rolling arable land which is farmed in-hand, with an extensive range of farm buildings including livestock sheds, a grain drying shed, and a slurry lagoon, making it suitable for mixed farming.

At the northern tip of the near 9 acre block of woodland are the ruins of a former farmhouse that could have potential development with the necessary planning permissions.

Two fields at the south are subject to an overage for solar development, which is limited in nature and exclusively applies to one previously agreed provider. This site may present potential for alternative development, subject to the relevant permissions.

There is also a transferable option to purchase an adjacent 104 acres, as per the sale plan (further details available from the agent).

Corton Farm enjoys a lovely setting amidst the rolling countryside of the Dorset National Landscape (formerly the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Near the world-renowned Jurassic Coast - designated a unesco World Heritage Site - the farm lies near one of the most celebrated stretches of rural and coastal scenery in Southern England. The Jurassic Coast offers exceptional walking and dramatic seascapes, while nearby the Fleet Lagoon provides fantastic wildlife watching and Chesil Beach allows for water sports, sailing and sea fishing.
The thriving towns of Weymouth and Dorchester offer an extensive range of shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and services.

Schooling in the area is excellent. A choice of primary schools lies in the surrounding villages, with respected secondary schools in both Weymouth and Dorchester.

Independent options include Milton Abbey, Leweston, the Sherborne schools and Bryanston, all within convenient reach.

Mainline rail services from Weymouth and Dorchester run directly to London Waterloo taking 23⁄4 hours or less, while Bournemouth and Exeter Airports - each a little over an hour by car - provide domestic and international connections.
