Description

Bingham's Melcombe Manor House is a stunning Grade I listed estate situated on 116.14 acres of historic grounds and gardens in Dorset. The property has a rich history dating back to the medieval period and has remained in the same family ownership for over 40 years. The manor house, with its irregular courtyard and various architectural styles, features a mix of 17th and 18th century panelling, elaborate chimney pieces, and original fireplaces. The estate includes a Dower house, two cottages, a 14th century Gatehouse, a 17th century stable block, and a garage building. The gardens, restored by renowned landscape architect Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, are largely laid out to the north and west of the house and feature a series of terraces, a bowling green, a summer house, tennis court, and a dovecote. The property is a warm and welcoming family home with enormous charm and historical pedigree, and is undoubtedly one of Dorset's finest and most undiscovered treasures.
