Manor House is a Grade II listed 16th‑century home that combines period character with large, private grounds. High ceilings, substantial rooms and original features such as a moulded stone arch and stained‑glass window give the house strong historic appeal. The layout includes four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms — well suited to a retirement couple seeking space for visitors or a family wanting a rural base.
The property sits in about 2.7 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland with level lawns, terraced walks and productive kitchen‑garden areas. A concrete driveway and large parking area provide scope for garaging or workshops (subject to consents). The setting is secluded, opposite the village pond, yet only four miles from Lyme Regis and local schools and amenities.
Practical considerations are important: as a listed building the house will present restrictions and potential costs for alterations and repairs. Construction appears to be traditional granite with assumed no cavity insulation; heating is oil‑fired boiler and radiators. Broadband is very slow locally, and council tax is noted as expensive. Recent upgrades include a private treatment system and an EV charging point, but modernisation and energy efficiency improvements may be required.
This home will particularly suit buyers who value historic character, generous outside space and rural tranquillity, and who are prepared for the maintenance and consents that come with a substantial listed property. It offers immediate enjoyment of gardens and flexible internal space, with potential to enhance and adapt where permitted.
