Three apartments offering a rare opportunity for restoration to a wonderful Grade II listed house.
This lovely building is thought to date to around 1800 and built as the service wing to the 17th century Manor House, to which it abuts. Grade 2 Listed, in the 1960's the property was converted into 3 separate flats. Tucked away behind woodland (part of the Scheduled Ancient Monument Area of the village) and set back off the lane, the property is relatively secluded and sits at the rear of its plot with mostly walled gardens wrapping around three sides, with southerly and westerly aspects.
Full planning permission has been granted to convert the flats back to an impressive and important 5 bedroom family home, arranged over three floors. To the ground floor a spacious entrance hall will be flooded with natural light from a large roof lantern above the staircase. All reception rooms look out over the south westerly gardens. There is a utility/boot room and cloakroom also on the ground floor. To the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite and a second bedroom, also with en suite and a study. The second floor provides three further bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite).
The walled garden offers a delightful opportunity to create a kitchen garden with space for entertaining and play. It also contains a substantial, separate studio offering the opportunity for a home office & gym or additional accommodation.
The property lies within the Dorchester Conservation Area and The Manor House and extension (nos 14-18 Manor Farm Road) are Grade II listed (list entry no: 1047805).

This is one of my favourite positions in Dorchester. Opportunities like this are rare and this lovely Georgian building will make a stunning single home.
