Description:
Lot 1 bingham's melcombe - guide price £8,000,000 The house has been in the same family for two generations and is a warm, welcoming family home with enormous charm and historical pedigree. It is undoubtedly one of Dorset's finest, undiscovered and untouched treasures, at the same time very much a family home. The house is approached over a dramatic entrance drive through the remarkable 14th Century Gate House, which serves as an entrance to the courtyard, and is one of the earliest complete surviving parts of the house. The reception hall, believed to be medieval, was extensively remodelled in the 18th century with the addition of an oriel and an arda stone stair. The interiors also boast a mix of 17th and 18th Century panelling, elaborate chimney pieces and original fireplaces. Notably, the dining room features a mid 18th Century chimneypiece with Adam and Eve figures and the east wing Contains an early 18th Century marble chimneypiece. Outbuildings To the south is a courtyard with a range of stores, and to the east of the Church is The Old School Room, a traditional single-storey building. Gardens and Grounds The gardens are largely attributed, in their present form, to Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, who laid them out after the Second World War for Lord Southborough. They are mostly laid out to the north and west of the house, with further areas of informal pleasure grounds in the valley of the Devil's Brook to the east. The formal gardens are laid out in a series of terraces, the lowest terrace comprising the kitchen garden, bordered by neat gravelled paths, and with 2 greenhouses and a potting shed. The middle lawn, also accessed by a stone flagged terrace by the west front, is the Bowling Green, a level rectangular lawn bordered to the north by a huge mature yew hedge and a mid 18th century Grade II listed brick wall which also encloses the south and west side of the kitchen garden. The upper terrace is divided into discrete garden areas. Still available at ListedBuy!
