Summary - 4 THE MANOR, CATHERSTON LEWESTON, BRIDPORT, CHARMOUTH DT6 6LZ
4 bed 3 bath House
Majestic south-facing manor portion with sea views and 2.5 acres of private woodland.
Grade II listed major portion of a Gothic Revival manor house
Set within the historic Catherston Manor, this substantial Grade II listed home occupies the major portion of a Gothic Revival manor. Arranged over ground and first floors, the principal rooms have very high ceilings, impressive stone mullion windows and sea-facing views; the principal bedroom suite and large double-height reception hall are standout, character-rich spaces. Adjoining 2.5 acres of private woodland and generous communal lawns provide extensive outdoor amenity for quiet walks, wildlife and seasonal displays of bluebells.
This property will suit a buyer seeking an atmospheric primary or secondary home with period grandeur—particularly retirees wanting peaceful village life with easy access to the Jurassic Coast. Practical benefits include a single garage and 1–2 parking spaces, cellar storage, modernised ensuite facilities to the principal bedroom and good broadband and mobile coverage for home working and connectivity.
There are important constraints to note: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. The building is of traditional stone construction with assumed little historic wall insulation, so thermal upgrades will be limited by listing requirements. Heating is served by oil-fired central heating (noted in the property information) and there are mixed data points about mains gas—buyers should verify the services on inspection. Council tax is above average and the property has been in one family for many decades, so some areas may require sympathetic updating.
Overall this is a rare chance to own a large, historically significant manor home in an elevated, south-facing position with sea views and extensive woodland. It offers immediate liveability combined with scope for careful conservation-led improvement for someone who values character and location over a turnkey modern finish.
