Most handsome listed Grade II Georgian manor house in a glorious elevated rural position with views in the sought after Piddle Valle. DescriptionPlush Manor is situated in a uniquely beautiful place, surrounded by chalk downs with walks in all directions, ancient trees, spectacular views and embedded in nature. It was the home of a much admired pianist and a peaceful haven for their three children. Musicians, writers and thinkers came and went, a Music festival was created and many of the then young participants cited Plush as a place of inspiration. Musicians and concerts, readings and convivial encounters were shared with the many guests and visitors who were drawn to the house.Plush Manor is thought to have been built in the late 18th century, and resides in a commanding position above the bucolic village of Plush, with wonderful views in a southerly direction down a beautiful and secluded valley that has changed little in centuries.Originally a Georgian era rectory, two symmetrical side extensions were added to the Manor in the 19th century to form the generously proportioned building that meets the eye today. The property has handsome, rendered elevations under a slate roof and classical proportions, with a central doorway with elliptical head and fanlight, sheltered by a portico with a flat roof and moulded entablature supported on two Tuscan columns. The main southerly elevation is symmetrical and consists of five bays, the three centre bays being recessed and flanked by projecting wings with three-sided, two storey bay windows.Inside are fine period features, with the central hallway and adjacent room throw into one with the removal of the original partition, to form a generous and welcoming space. The hall ceiling is a light plastered vault with elliptical cross sections and the main staircase has open string plain balusters and a moulded mahogany handrail.Two further fine reception rooms with open fireplaces are situated at either end of the property and these rooms take in the southerly aspect of the gardens from the three sided bay sash windows. This area and the library with its extensive bookcases all adjoining the spacious hall form a sequence of rooms that are ideal both for entertaining as well as family life.At the rear of the house is a spacious kitchen, with original flagstone flooring, a dining area and French Doors leading to a sheltered east-facing courtyard.

Dropping away and wrapping round from the south east to north east is the main lawn flanked by borders and some fine mature Beech trees; the hill rising dramatically as a backdrop. On the eastern flank of the house, access from the kitchen and drawing room is a secluded terrace with old flag stones, the walls awash with climbing roses and with a covered outside area for dining if required.

A rear drive to the lane provides access beyond which is a public footpath and the fabulous walking opportunities in and around the village. To the north east is the hard tennis court, screened by mature hedging and a fine old church resides beyond that.

An outstanding country house, immaculately restored in an idyllic setting in beautiful North Dorset. DescriptionManston House is set in the heart of North Dorset within the triangle of Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Blandford Forum. It enjoys splendid views over unspoilt farmland with the River Stour forming part of the western boundary. Manston is a small hamlet situated between the neighbouring village of Child Okeford and the market town of Sturminster Newton.Manston House is a distinguished Grade II listed country house with elegantly proportioned living accommodation arranged around a magnificent reception hall which is flooded with light from a galleried landing.Recently the subject of a complete restoration project by the renowned country house builders R Moulding & Co, the house retains its late 17th century qualities including many period fireplaces, window shutters and cornicing but with 21st century conveniences and comforts including underfloor heating throughout. The owners extended the house as part of their restoration, creating a substantial house of over 8,500 sq ft. The layout of the house balances formal entertaining well with family living, for in addition to the exceptional entrance hall, elegant drawing room and large dining room, there is a library and sitting room along with a study/home office which would make an excellent playroom. The useful ancillary spaces of boot room and utility room are well laid out, with access from the rear courtyard and hallway.There are six bedrooms in total on the first floor, all of which are supremely comfortable, each having their own en-suite bathrooms, whilst the principal bedroom naturally has a private dressing room as well. On the second floor there are three further bedrooms (one of which is used as a music room) and two bathrooms.As with the house, the grounds have also been transformed under the current owners careful guidance. Flanked by the Lodge, automated gates lead into a gravel drive, with a secondary and imposing set of wrought iron gates set back from the road and opening onto the main driveway to the house. New park railings enclose the paddocks flanking the driveway and have been installed to give an immaculate appearance to the property.The gravel drive sweeps up to a large parking and turning area at the front of the house with a spur off to the side of the house and rear courtyard beyond. Stone paths lead to landscaped gardens with mature planting. Deep, stone flagged terraces face the morning sun, whilst a sundeck over the River Stour provides a lovely spot for evening drinks.There are areas of formal garden with close clipped topiary Yew walks, whilst the hard tennis court is flanked by more informal areas of wild flower meadows.There are a range of outbuildings suitable to a house of this stature, including a garage, potting sheds, a greenhouse, workshop and former stables (with stalls still in situ) which are used as stores. The fine parish church (for which there is no chancel obligation) and a privately owned mausoleum are located within the grounds. The owners have taken great care to ensure that visitors are able to cross the grounds to the church with ease, without imposing on the privacy and security of the house and gardens.The land amounts to about 58 acres in total, wrapped around the house and bound in part by the River Stour. The grazing element is let out to a local farmer.Located at the head of the drive, Manston House Lodge provides the perfect complement to the main house, offering a detached two bedroom lodge, ideal for staff or letting out.

Manston House is set in the heart of North Dorset within the triangle of Shaftesbury, Sturminster Newton and Blandford Forum. It enjoys splendid views over unspoilt farmland with the River Stour forming part of the western boundary. Manston is a small hamlet close to the neighbouring village of Child Okeford.GEORGIAN GRACE AND OUR FAVOURITE.House is everyone's idea of an English country house. Houses from the Georgian era are widely celebrated as the epitome of style and elegance, this Grade II listed house is perfectly proportioned with living accommodation arranged around a magnificent reception hall.Recently the subject of a complete restoration project by the renowned country house builders R Moulding Co, the house retains its early 19th century qualities including many period fireplaces, window shutters and cornicing but with the 21st-century conveniences and comforts including underfloor heating throughout and is therefore presented in immaculate condition.The large and welcoming hallway is flooded with light from a galleried landing and sets the perfect model layout of the house, ideal for a family. In addition to the elegant drawing room and large dining room, there is a library and family room along with a home office.The principal bedrooms on the first floor are all supremely comfortable, each having their own en-suite bathroom and the master bedroom naturally having a separate dressing room. On the second floor there are three further family bedrooms (one of which is used as a music room) and two bathrooms.This peaceful haven, free from any modern disturbances is nonetheless surprisingly accessible to a number of major West Country towns and cities as well as London by train and road.OUR GLORIOUS ENGLISH GARDENSAs with the house, the grounds have also been transformed under the current owners careful guidance. New park railings have been installed which gives an immaculate appearance to the property. The gravel drive and paths lead to landscaped gardens with mature planting. There is a range of outbuildings suitable to a house of this stature. The fine parish church (for which there is no chancel obligation) and a privately owned mausoleum are located within the grounds. A tennis court is of course part of the fun at Manston.AN IDYLLIC SETTINGManston itself is a small hamlet but amenities including a shop, two pubs, a primary school and a doctor's surgery can be found in the nearby village of Child Okeford.

LOT 1 BINGHAM'S MELCOMBE - GUIDE PRICE £8,000,000The house has been in the same family for two generations and is a warm, welcoming family home with enormous charm and historical pedigree. It is undoubtedly one of Dorset's finest, undiscovered and untouched treasures, at the same time very much a family home.The house is approached over a dramatic entrance drive through the remarkable 14th Century Gate House, which serves as an entrance to the courtyard, and is one of the earliest complete surviving parts of the house. The reception hall, believed to be medieval, was extensively remodelled in the 18th century with the addition of an oriel and an arda stone stair. The interiors also boast a mix of 17th and 18th Century panelling, elaborate chimney pieces and original fireplaces. Notably, the dining room features a mid 18th Century chimneypiece with Adam and Eve figures and the east wing Contains an early 18th Century marble chimneypiece. OutbuildingsTo the south is a courtyard with a range of stores, and to the east of the Church is The Old School Room, a traditional single-storey building.Gardens and GroundsThe gardens are largely attributed, in their present form, to Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, who laid them out after the Second World War for Lord Southborough. They are mostly laid out to the north and west of the house, with further areas of informal pleasure grounds in the valley of the Devil's Brook to the east. The formal gardens are laid out in a series of terraces, the lowest terrace comprising the kitchen garden, bordered by neat gravelled paths, and with 2 greenhouses and a potting shed.The middle lawn, also accessed by a stone flagged terrace by the west front, is the Bowling Green, a level rectangular lawn bordered to the north by a huge mature yew hedge and a mid 18th century Grade II listed brick wall which also encloses the south and west side of the kitchen garden. The upper terrace is divided into discrete garden areas with a summer house, tennis court and Grade II listed, 17th century dovecote. To the north of the house is a charming knot garden and a romantic summer house within a high stone wall. A broad grass walk beyond the west garden wall leads to a mid 18th century Grade II listed stone bridge which crosses the Devil's Brook. Nearby is a cascade with a small stone mill (listed Grade II). The floor of the nearby valley is laid out with formal water gardens comprising three pools linked by a narrow channel and planted with specimen trees to a 20th century scheme by Brenda Colvin.Parkland and FarmlandThe park lies to the north and south of the manor, interspersed by mature parkland trees. Open farmland stretches to the west, all the land being actively farmed and grazed on a licence to a local farmer.The Dower House Approached over the main drive, and set in over 2 acres of gardens overlooking the Devil's Brook, the Grade II listed Dower House, formally the Old Rectory for the Church next door, is a wonderful house in its own right. Of stone and flint under a tile roof with stone mullion windows and leaded lights, the house comprises on the ground floor 3 reception rooms, a cloakroom WC, kitchen and boiler room; on the first floor 3 bedrooms and the second floor a further bedroom, bathroom and attic storage. The Dower House is currently used as office and will require modernisation to be returned to a private residence.Linked to the house are outbuildings and a charming Coach House with garage bay and former stables, and provide enormous potential for incorporation into the ground floor living area subject to the usual planning and listed consents.No's 1 and 2 Garden Cottages With access from the west over the farm drive to the west, a pair of semi-detached cottages of rendered construction under slate. LOT 2 - Peck Mill - GUIDE PRICE £850,000To the north of the estate and accessed from a lane to the east is an attractive former mill house set within its own pretty gardens.Bingham Melcombe occupies its own hamlet, the only other bulding in the cluster of dwellings being the Church, one mile from the slightly larger village of Melcombe Bingham. The estate is surrounded by open farmland which forms an impressive backdrop on all sides. The A354 is 6 miles to the south giving access to the A31 and A35 and Sherborne is 16 miles to the north with trains to Waterloo in 2.25 hours. Bournemouth Airport is a 45 minute drive.For immediate needs, there is a good convenience store in Ansty (1 mile) while more comprehensive amenties can be found in Blandford, Dorchester or Sherborne.
