Description
The Property
Befferlands Farm was originally part of the Catherston Manor Estate and has been home to the vendors for over 30 years. It has been run as a beef and arable farm together with a bed and breakfast business for much of the ownership. In latter years they have diversified by converting a barn to create a very successful holiday cottage and have let former farm buildings for light commercial use. The land has also been let to a neighbouring farmer.
The property comprises a spacious period farmhouse, which is not listed. The house makes a superb, large home but also offers scope to divide, if required. To the rear and side of the farmhouse are attractive mature gardens with sun terraces, a swimming pool and lawns which all overlook the property's land and the River Char. Adjacent to the farmhouse is Befferlands Cottage, a holiday let converted to a high standard in 2001. Situated on the opposite side of Berne Lane are the traditional barns and farm buildings, the majority of these buildings benefit from B1 light industrial planning and there is considered good potential for the conversion of these buildings to form further accommodation (subject to planning). The land surrounds the farmstead and extends to some 107.47 acres of undulating pasture/arable land together with attractive areas of coppice and some rushy marshland with the River Char running through the middle of the farm.
Situation
The farm is well situated in the pretty Char Valley midway between the historic village of Whitchurch Canonicorum and the coast at Charmouth. The area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Both Charmouth and Whitchurch Canonicorum offer good local amenities including primary schools, well regarded inns and shops.
