SITUATION Manor Farm is situated a short distance from St George s Church in the sought after village of Fovant, in a secluded yet accessible rural location at the end of a private valley which runs through Manor Farm to the River Nadder to the north. The village of Fovant offers a range of local facilities including a shop, post office and doctors surgery, whilst Tisbury is also nearby and offers a wider range of shopping facilities and schools. Fovant is also within easy reach of the Cathedral City of Salisbury and the hilltop market town of Shaftesbury, with their more comprehensive shopping, educational, arts and recreational amenities. Access to the A303 trunk road is available at Wylye to the north, whilst the main line railway station at Tisbury offers trains into London Waterloo. DESCRIPTION Manor Farm comprises a former dairy farm which is located on the edge of the sought after village of Fovant. The holding is serviced by a courtyard of traditional stone and slate farm buildings, together with a more modern range of livestock buildings. In addition, there are several fishing lakes which are centrally located to add to the sporting and amenity value offered by Manor Farm. Planning permission has recently been granted for the conversion of part of the courtyard of buildings into three dwellings, together with the existing permission for the conversion of the detached barn to a further dwelling, and the demolition of the former farm bungalow and replacement with a substantial dwelling. The farm buildings benefit from most attractive views down over the fishing lakes and across the valley beyond. Therefore, although permission has been granted for the conversion into several dwellings, the potential exists for a purchaser to convert these buildings into a substantial dwelling, should they wish, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The land runs out from the farmstead and is generally level and gently sloping with the majority cropped to maize and oilseed rape this season. There are also several water meadows adjoining the River Nadder to the north, together with pasture and amenity land adjoining the fishing lakes and running along the brook through the centre of the holding. In all Manor Farm extends to about 196.91 acres and is offered for sale as a whole or in up to seven lots as set out below.
