Description
This estate, known as Bingham's Melcombe, is a unique and historic property that has been in the same family for two generations. The main house is a warm and welcoming family home with enormous charm and historical pedigree, featuring a mix of 17th and 18th-century panelling, elaborate chimney pieces, and original fireplaces. The property is surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds, including a courtyard, a bowling green, a tennis court, and a dovecote, as well as a stable block and a garage block. The estate also includes a park and farmland, which is actively farmed and grazed on a license to a local farmer. In addition to the main house, the estate includes several other properties, including the Dower House, a Grade II listed property that is currently used as offices, and two garden cottages. The estate is located in a rural area, but is still within easy reach of larger towns and cities, including Sherborne and Dorchester.
