Productive ring fenced arable land
Tenure: Freehold
Situation: The farm lies close to the Jurassic Dorset coastline with panoramic views of The Fleet and Chesil Beach, on the southern edge of Rodden. The small village of Langton Herring lies to the south of the farm and benefits from the Elm Tree Inn a 16th Century pub, school and Post Office. To the west of Rodden lies the picturesque village of Abbotsbury, which is well know for The Swannery which was established by Benedictine Monks who built a monastery at Abbotsbury during the 1040's. St Catherine's Chapel and the Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens are also well known visitor attractions located in the village. For more extensive shopping facilities there are the nearby towns of Weymouth and Dorchester, which also benefit from railway stations with regular services to London Waterloo.
