Bardolf Manor presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to invest in a substantial Victorian residence with both historical charm and modernisation potential. Dating back to 1895, this impressive manor house is built from Portland stone and is situated on expansive grounds that include a separate cottage and paddock. The property has been in the same family for generations, boasting authentic period features such as high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and wooden flooring that reflect its rich history.
The current layout accommodates a welcoming reception hall, drawing room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, office, and garden room on the main floor. The upper levels house six bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the untouched second floor offering additional space for at least five more bedrooms. There is significant scope to reconfigure these areas to suit contemporary family needs.
Natural light floods the principal rooms thanks to their southern orientation and stunning views over idyllic farmland. Outdoors, you’ll find well-maintained gardens with various fruit trees, alongside an indoor swimming pool needing updates. The property includes generous parking options and outbuildings alongside Bardolf Manor Cottage—a well-presented four-bedroom dwelling complete with its own private garden.
With approximately 2.57 acres of paddock land complemented by stables and water supply, this estate encourages agricultural pursuits or recreational use. Additional land may also be available through separate negotiation. Situated just outside Puddletown near Dorchester, it offers access to local amenities while being close to scenic countryside walks and the Jurassic Coast.
