Agricultural and residential property portfolios of this size and quality
rarely come to the market in Dorset.
Preston Farm, Crook Farm and surrounding land extend in total to 952. 46 acres
(385. 42 hectares) of highly productive farm land together with a farmhouse,
substantial range of modern and traditional buildings and two airfield
hangars, all offered with vacant possession. There is a portfolio of seven
residential properties within the village of Tarrant Rushton, of which five
are subject to tenancies and two with vacant possession.
The estate has been farmed by the Harding family since 1938 and comprises
arable, beef and pig enterprises. The land and buildings have been
exceptionally well tended to by the family over the decades. Now the estate
presents itself to the market in good heart with huge potential for the
successful purchaser(s).
History
RAF Tarrant Rushton was a former airbase from 1943 to 1947. It was used for
glider operations during World War II and later revived for civilian
operations. Some of the runways, hangars and buildings are still present today
and included within the property. Use of the airfield by Flight Refuelling
ceased in 1980 and is now back in the current vendors’ control and ownership.
Situation
The estate spans across the Tarrant Valley, situated in the Cranborne Chase
and West Wiltshire Downs Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. A secluded and attractive location in rural
countryside. Despite the position, it benefits from being centrally located to
an excellent range of retail, recreational and commercial facilities.
The market towns of Blandford Forum and Wimborne Minster are within close
proximity, with the coastal town of Bournemouth 16 miles and the County Town
of Dorchester 20 miles distant. There are good communication links with the
A350 giving access to the A31/M27/M3 to London. The nearest mainline railway
service is from Poole, and airport at Bournemouth.
