Dutton Manor is an exceptional Grade II listed Victorian shooting lodge set within about 50 acres of landscaped gardens, woodland and paddock. The main house extends over three floors plus attic and tower, offering around 22,500 sq ft with 15–16 bedrooms, many original period features and striking architectural elements such as a turret and carved fireplaces. Several additional dwellings — a 2-bed Gate Lodge, a 3–4-bed Coach House and a 1-bed Bothy — increase flexibility for multi‑household use or income generation.
The estate delivers significant scope: formal gardens, woodland walks, a brook, and extensive outbuildings combine with the large internal footprint to suit a range of futures (family country seat, boutique hospitality, or mixed residential use) subject to planning and listed‑building restrictions. The Coach House, Bothy and Lodge provide immediate ancillary accommodation and practical workshops/garaging.
Important practical considerations are clear and material. The house requires extensive refurbishment: kitchens, bathrooms and decorative elements need modernisation. The property has an EPC rating of F, oil‑fired heating, very slow broadband, and private water from a neighbouring reservoir that will only remain in place for one year — the new owner must install a permanent supply. As a Grade II listed building, repairs and alterations will require specialist consent and are likely to add time and cost. Council tax and running costs will be high given the scale.
This is a rare, high‑profile rural estate for buyers who understand historic fabric and long‑term restoration projects. It suits those seeking a landmark property with versatile accommodation and land, but it is best approached with specialist surveying, a realistic refurbishment budget and a clear plan for future use.
