Location

The Bapton Manor Estate is situated in the Wylye Valley and has excellent communication links being just one mile from the A303/A36 junction, providing easy access to London (via the M3), the south west (via the A303) and the Cathedral City of Salisbury (via the A36), with a regular train service to London Waterloo (from 88 minutes).

Close to the World Heritage Site of Stonehenge, the Estate also forms part of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape (formerly termed an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), known for its chalk streams and beautiful unspoilt countryside.

Heathrow Airport is about 82 miles distant, while Southampton Airport and Yeovilton are each around 35 miles and both can accommodate private aircraft.

The general area is well renowned for its excellent choice of schools including Chafyn Grove, Dauntsey's, Godolphin, Marlborough College, Port Regis, Salisbury Cathedral School, Sandroyd, Bryanston, Sherborne, St Mary's Shaftesbury and Warminster.

Race meetings at Salisbury, Wincanton and Newbury. Hunting with the South & West Wiltshire Hunt and Polo at Tidworth Polo Club and Druids Lodge. There is a good network of bridleways and national trails across the county.

Description

A ringfenced block of productive arable land which lies separate to the main Estate on the western edge of the village of Chilmark. The land falls with the Cranborne Chase National Landscape and is on the Dorset / Wiltshire border. Split into three fields, with a small block of woodland, the land has road access on the northern and southern boundaries.

On the southern boundary there are far reaching, panoramic views over the Nadder and Wylye Valley. The soil is productive, shallow, lime rich, loamy in texture, free draining and lies over chalk or limestone reducing the acidity levels and producing high sources of calcium and magnesium. As with the main Estate the land has been farmed under a Contract Farming Agreement, on a traditional arable crop rotation.

Part of Lot 6 is subject to an existing overage agreement for a period of 50 years from the 30th July 2018. A footpath bisects the southeastern corner of the land.
