INTRODUCTION
Lodge Farm occupies an attractive setting within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just to the west of the village of Calbourne with direct access onto the B3401. The farm benefits from comprising just under 100 acres of principally productive agricultural land along with some mature woodland, all conveniently located within a ring fence, in addition to a good range of farm buildings. The three bedroom bungalow which is subject to an agricultural occupancy condition, has light accommodation and benefits from various upgrades including UPVC framed double glazing and partly re-roofed in around 2015. The attractive rear garden extends down to a stream called the Caul Bourne.

The extensive range of farm buildings, including the former dairy are highly useful and have potential for change of use, subject to the necessary consents. The older derelict barn to the north of the farmyard may have some potential for residential conversion. The attractive landholding extends south from the farm buildings with additional vehicular access points to the two fields to the west of the farm. This comprises largely good quality grassland with some more recently established grass leys but with potential for alternate cropping. Areas of mature woodland add to the amenity value also offering diversification potential. The land is shown as
being grade 3 on the MAFF land classification plan.
