Our opinion
There are some residences that cannot be visited: they call out silently, like a preserved testimony to the past. Nestled amid landscaped gardens and centuries-old woods, Manston House stands in the Dorset countryside, a discreet guardian of Georgian elegance. Listed as a Grade II building, it displays the harmonious proportions of its era and shares its history with a twenty-hectare estate bordered by the River Stour. Every original feature bears the mark of time: antique fireplaces, interior shutters, mouldings, restored by the craftsmen of R. Moulding & Co. The interior layout reflects a preserved balance: spacious living rooms, library, study, family dining room and bedrooms spread over two floors. The place invites you to live in a home that precedes and extends those who choose it. The gardens unfold without ostentation, accompanied by gravel paths, tennis courts and stables. The separate lodge, with its own access, offers accommodation possibilities. The size and location allow for a variety of projects, while taking advantage of the proximity to amenities and direct access to London.
