Accommodation
With origins dating back to the 14th Century, Catherston Manor has a
most interesting history and is justifiably Grade II Listed of historical
and archaeological importance. During the 20th Century, the Manor was
divided into seven unique homes, with 4 The Manor being the standout
home within the building having retained the main part and the original
entrance, with many of the rooms commanding magnificent views to the
sea.
This very special and unique home is a rare opportunity having been in
the same family for over 60 years. It is situated at ground and first floor
level commanding a stunning and elevated South facing position with
many of the principal rooms taking full advantage of the surrounding
countryside and coastal views to the sea at Charmouth. The house itself
has an abundance characterful features, typical of its era, including
extraordinarily high ceilings, decorative wood panelling, stone mullion
framed stained glass windows, and window seats to name but a few.
The Stone entrance hall makes for a beautiful entrance to the house,
which opens into the most incredible double height reception hall,
incorporating the original staircase and grand fireplace, and a huge stone
mullion framed window admiring views over the garden and to the sea,
making for a very sociable space for the whole family to come together.
Alongside this room is a generously proportioned, light filled sitting
room with a large mullion window and seat beneath. This leads into the
kitchen which has plenty of space for a breakfast table and is fully
equipped with a range of fitted wall and base units in the shaker style,
with a pantry cupboard & laundry alongside with a hatch in the floor
leading down to the cellar. There is a useful door that leads out onto an
inner courtyard, providing access only to bin storage. Finally, there is
also a refurbished cloakroom and WC at this level.
The grand oak staircase rises to an impressive and light filled galleried
landing, passing the most wonderful stained-glass window. The
principal bedroom suite is nothing less than majestic, a most luxurious
space taking in the most wonderful views to the sea and surrounding
countryside, together with a newly re-furbished ensuite shower room,
and full height fitted wardrobes to each side. A door leads into another
smaller, but charming room currently used as a study but equally would
make a useful dressing area or nursery room/bed 4.
There are two further double bedrooms, one of which faces South, again
with beautiful sea views, and another to the rear, sharing a family
bathroom completing the accomodation at this level.
Outside
First glimpses of Catherston Manor are most impressive, passing
the pretty chapel before arriving at the entrance and driveway
shared by all residents. The driveway leads to a garage block to
the side of the Manor with number 4 having access to a single
garage to the far end and parking to the front for 1-2 cars. The
communal gardens are a true delight and are mainly laid to
lawns, with Yew hedging and well stocked herbaceous and
shrub bed borders. Number 4 also benefits from its own
adjoining 2.5 acre woodland, which lies to the East and is a
utopia for both children and wildlife, with its own woodland
walk shaded by the canopy of mature specimen trees, not to
mention an abundance of bluebells and wild garlic during the
Spring months.
All in all, this would make the most wonderful primary or
secondary home in the idyllic and convenient location.
Sporting And Recreation
This part of Dorset is amongst some of the finest countryside in
the South West, the area is a designated aonb and a haven for
keen walkers and riders, well catered for by a network of paths
and bridleways. Golf courses at Bridport and Lyme Regis, racing
at Bath, Wincanton, Salisbury and Taunton. Water sports
including surfing, fishing and sailing at Lyme Regis, Axmouth
and all along the Jurassic Coast.

the well renowned Woodroffe secondary school is within
catchment, a short distance away in Lyme Regis. Other
secondary schools all within accessible driving distance include
Colyton Grammar, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, Canford, and the
