An impressive dairy farm in North Dorset has come to the market, offering plenty of potential for development.
Hewletts Farm near Stalbridge, Sturminster Newton has an eight bedroom Victorian farmhouse with annexe, a detached bungalow (subject to AOC), modern farm buildings and a courtyard of traditional farm buildings set within 47.13 acres of ring fenced productive farmland.
Owned by the same family for 57 years and last worked as a dairy farm in 2015, Hewletts Farm offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a traditional Blackmore Vale Farm set in a very private and peaceful location surrounded by ring fenced land.
The traditional farm buildings offer a huge variety of uses such as holiday lets (subject to the necessary planning consent), storage, stabling and studios.
Historically the owners have gained planning permission for change of use to three full residential units. (planning now lapsed).

Adjoining the annexe is the Old Parlour of stone and brick elevations with concrete floor under a slate roof, including store room, old parlour and a workshop.
Currently used for storage these buildings would be suitable for conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Traditional buildings adjoining a gravel courtyard include the old cow shed, an adjacent bull pen and yard.
There is also a traditional two storey general purpose barn, former parlour opening, the former parlour and old dairy.
The modern farm buildings include two covered yards which can be used for a range of agricultural, equestrian, commercial and storage uses subject to necessary consent.
Surrounding the farmstead is 47.13 acres (19.07 Ha) of agricultural pasture land.
The land comprises largely level and gently undulating productive pasture land, currently sown to short term leys.
The soil is a loam over Oxford clay and is classified as Grade III under the Defra Land Classification Map.
Hewletts Farm is on for the market with Greenslade Taylor Hunt and has a guide price of £2,450,000.
