Description
Bingham's Melcombe Manor House is a stunning Grade I listed property nestled in 103.05 acres of historic gardens and parkland. The manor house, which has been in the same family for over 40 years, boasts a rich history dating back to the medieval period. The property has undergone various architectural additions over the centuries, resulting in an informal and picturesque grouping of buildings. The interior features a mix of 17th and 18th-century panelling, elaborate chimney pieces, and original fireplaces. The house is approached through a dramatic entrance drive and features a beautiful courtyard with a range of stores, a substantial thatched stable building, and a red brick garage building. The gardens, largely attributed to renowned landscape architect Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, are a series of terraces, including a kitchen garden, bowling green, and summer house. The property also features a tennis court, dovecote, and a charming knot garden, making it a truly unique and historic treasure.
