A detached 3 bedroom barn conversion (subject to aoc) with gently sloping pasture land extending to approximately 22.90 acres in total.
Situation
Tucked away in the unspoilt Bride Valley, Lower Kingston Russell Farm enjoys an outstanding rural position in the heart of West Dorset’s rolling countryside, just outside the village of Long Bredy. The farm is set amidst gently undulating pasture land with far-reaching views across its own farmland and along the Jurassic coastline.
Although in a tranquil and secluded setting, the farm is well-connected, lying just South of the A35. The County town of Dorchester is approximately 8 miles east, offering a wide range of amenities and direct rail links to London Waterloo. Further amenities are available at the popular market town of Bridport 7 miles to the west. The area is well served by independent and state schools including the Sherborne Schools, Leweston, Milton Abbey, Bryanston and Sunninghill Prep School.
The coast at East Bexington is 2 miles from the farm and the World Heritage Site Jurassic Coast offers excellent opportunities for walking, fishing and swimming. There are a number of well-regarded local seafood restaurants such as the Hive Beach Café along the coast.
