Property Description
Location
Bingham Melcombe occupies its own hamlet, the only other building in the cluster of dwellings being the Church, one mile from the slightly larger village of Melcombe Bingham. The estate is surrounded by open farmland which forms an impressive backdrop on all sides.
The A354 is 6 miles to the south giving access to the A31 and A35 and Sherborne is 16 miles to the north with trains to Waterloo in 2.25 hours. Bournemouth Airport is a 45 minute drive.
For immediate needs, there is a good convenience store in Ansty (1 mile) while more comprehensive amenities can be found in Blandford, Dorchester or Sherborne.
The area offers a good selection of Prep Schools, such as Hanford, Bryanston Prep, formerly Knighton House, Sandroyd and Sherborne with Public Schools, Bryanston, Canford, Milton Abbey and Sherborne boys and girls also close by.
Description
Approached over the main drive, and set in over 6 1/2 acres of gardens overlooking the Devil's Brook, the Grade II listed Dower House, formally the Old Rectory for the Church next door, is a wonderful house in its own right. Of stone and flint under a tile roof with stone mullion windows and leaded lights, the house comprises on the ground floor 3 reception rooms, a cloakroom WC, kitchen and boiler room; on the first floor 3 bedrooms and the second floor a further bedroom, bathroom and attic storage.
The Dower House is currently used as offices and will require modernisation and the relevant planning consents to be returned to a private residence.
Linked to the house are outbuildings and a charming Coach House with garage bay and former stables, and provide enormous potential for incorporation into the ground floor living area subject to the usual planning and listed consents.
Directions
From the A31, take the A35 at Bere Regis and at the junction with the A354 on the outskirts of Puddletown, take the slip road signed to Milbourne St Andrew crossing back over the A35. Take the first left and after 200m, the first right into Long Lane. Follow signs to Dewlish and proceed through the village. After about 4 km the entrance gates are on the right.
