Clyffe House is an impressive Grade II listed mansion that was built in 1842 in Tudor style with Broadmayne brick and Portland ashlar under a tiled roof. Designed by the distinguished London based Victorian architect Benjamin Ferrey (1810-1880), the property was divided into apartments in the late 1980s. Clyffe Manor House comprises a substantial portion of the property including the main entrance porch, magnificent staircase and 2 of the principal ground floor reception rooms. There is a well appointed kitchen including an Aga. On the first floor as well as the impressive galleried land, are 4 bedrooms all with high quality en suite facilities. The rooms are beautifully proportioned with high ceilings and tall mullioned windows, some fine wood panelling and a number of attractive fireplaces. From the ground and first floor there are glorious distant views over the South Dorset countryside.
