Description

Residential and Farming Estate with significant historic providence within the Cranborne Chase AONB

Description

Manor Farm

Nestled within the picturesque village of Rockbourne, within the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies The Manor Farm Estate. The property boasts a rich ecclesiastical history, with some of its period farm buildings regarded as notable landmarks in the county. Approached by a private gravel driveway from a no-through road, the handsome Manor House stands at the centre of the estate.

Dating back to the 11th Century and documented in the Doomsday Book, the Manor House has organically evolved into the present-day family home over the centuries. Carefully blending period charm with family living space, the property caters well to modern family living needs despite its age. Its principal reception rooms offer views of the rear lawn and ancient ruins, a unique historic feature to the garden. A delightful walled garden adorns the front of the property beneath the Church, complemented by a separate kitchen garden, the private garden within the house walls and a former coach house, once the venue for shoot lunches.

To the north of the house stands a remarkable collection of historic traditional Farm buildings and barns surrounding an impressive courtyard, meticulously preserved in their original state - a rarity in this region of Hampshire. Among these buildings are a Grade I listed Tythe barn and chapel, a Grade II listed cartshed, two Grade II listed granaries, and stables.
Additionally, the courtyard hosts two converted holiday cottages, a workshop, and an office. The modern farm buildings includes a grain storage facility with capacity for 1,100 tonnes.

Lying within the gates of the main House and Farmyard, 1 & 2
Slippery Elms are an attractive pair of semi-detached cottages,
thought to have been converted from a farm building in the
1960’s.

Further afield, to the southeast of the primary farm buildings, lie a range of traditional brick and flint structures alongside modern farm buildings known as Drove Barn.

The farmland is naturally undulating, typical of rolling Hampshire downland and stretches north, east and south of the House and farm buildings, offering great privacy and sporting opportunities. Lying to the north east of Manor Farm buildings is a wonderful valley of parkland originally an ancient deer park. The valley is bordered high on the banks by mature woodland. Amongst the parkland are some beautiful Walnut, Oak, Acers and Beech trees. A farm track leads through the valley and rises to the south east giving access to Drove Barn or North across the estate. A private wild swimming pond lies to the north east of Drove Barns.

The predominantly arable land is classified as Grade 3 and has been farmed in a responsible and sustainable manner, employing the services of a contractor to carry out field operations in a standard arable rotation. The estate has benefitted from a countryside stewardship scheme which came to an end in December 2023.

To the north of the cottages along New Road are pasture paddocks with water which are currently used for horse grazing.

Further land, farm buildings and Cottages are available in separate lots.
