Description
This Grade II* listed Manor House in Blackmore Vale, Dorset, is a picturesque property dating back to the 15th century with additions in the 17th, 19th, and 21st centuries. The house features part stone and part timber framed elevations under a predominantly thatched roof, with stone mullioned windows and a classic porch with rustic Tuscan columns. The interior boasts a spacious hall, drawing room, study, boot room, downstairs cloakroom, and garden room, as well as a farmhouse kitchen with underfloor heating and a cozy seating area. The five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a 16th-century star-painted ceiling decoration, are spread over three floors. The property also features a landscaped courtyard, terraces, and a walled front garden, as well as fishing rights on the River Stour. The outbuildings, which were restored in 2019, comprise two interconnected barns that can be used as holiday lets or guest and family accommodation. The Manor House has a rich history, having been owned by various families and entities over the centuries, and has appeared in several books and publications.
