The Old Manor House has been carefully restored and continuously maintained by the current owners to create a magnificent family home boasting over 5000 sq ft of living space plus an adjoining annexe of approximately 500 sq ft. Great sensitivity has been employed to maintain authenticity and preserve a wealth of original features including mullioned windows, high ceilings, flagstone flooring and exposed beams. The delightful and secluded gardens offer a high level of privacy and are well landscaped with mature trees and shrubs that compliment the home perfectly.

Situation - The Old Manor House is situated adjacent to St Ann’s Church in the popular Radipole area, Weymouth.

The Old Manor House is an impressive Grade II listed Manor House that has been carefully restored and continuously maintained by the current owners to create a magnificent family home boasting over 5000 sq ft of living space plus an adjoining annexe of approximately 500 sq ft. Great sensitivity has been employed to maintain authenticity and preserve a wealth of original features including mullioned windows, high ceilings, flagstone flooring and exposed beams.

Originally owned by Cerne Abbey, it is believed that the oldest part of the house began life as a priest’s house or an abbey grange. Humphrey Watkins of Holwell was granted the manor by Henry VIII in 1540, with Elizabeth I granting him the property for life in 1560, with the right to leave it to his heirs. The property was altered and extended around 1580 by his son Richard, whose initials ‘R.W’ can still be seen on the porch above the doorway.

There is also a laundry and boiler room with drying racks.

The sitting room is a light and spacious room with dual aspect windows providing plentiful natural light. The bespoke solid oak flooring comes from a single Scottish oak tree, the boards running the entire length of the room. There is a large open fireplace creating a natural focal point of the room and front aspect window seats.

There are three spacious reception rooms, all enjoying a traditional feel and period features. The dining room and snug afford original flagstone flooring, exposed beams and feature fireplaces that house decorative wood burning stoves.

An impressive stone spiral staircase leads to the first floor where a spacious landing provides access to a tastefully fitted bathroom and three generous bedrooms. The master bedroom suite features an attractive open fireplace and a mezzanine that is currently utilised as a further reception room. The master suite also offers a large dressing room, well-appointed with an abundance of storage. The dressing room leads to luxury en-suite facilities comprising dual wash hand basins, a freestanding bath and a walk in shower. There are two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom situated on the second floor together with a family bathroom and a generous office space.

The annexe has a sitting room, kitchen, with integrated dishwasher and electric oven, a double bedroom and a shower room.
