The origins of this immaculately presented home date back to the 18th century which is hard to believe given the extensive two year renovation the property has undergone. The former mill has been transformed into a modern masterpiece. No detail has been overlooked in the design process of this exquisite, net zero family home which was renovated with modern, comfortable and sustainable living in mind.

 

Upon entry the impressive nature is apparent thanks to the beautiful oak parquet floors, a feature staircase and large Crittall doors. They open onto the exceptionally large kitchen which is flooded with natural light thanks to multiple windows and French doors which open onto the patio. The bespoke Neptune Henley dine-in kitchen has solid oak cabinetry, a separate sub-zero larder, and leads onto the open-plan dining room. Both the library and the spacious reception room benefit from having working fireplaces. There is also a study, boot room and utility room located on the ground floor, as well as the sixth bedroom with ensuite.

 

On the first floor the impressive principal suite unfolds. With a large walk-in wardrobe, French doors opening onto a balcony with spectacular views and an ensuite which is evocative of a five star hotel, thanks to the large, luxury, spa-like marble bathroom, single piece of marble bath, walk-in shower, steam room and double sinks. There are two further ensuite bedrooms located on this floor and the fourth en-suite bedroom is situated on the second floor. All of the bathrooms feature hand cut marble, Lefroy & Brooks nickel hardware, and solid oak cabinetry. Underfloor heating is found throughout the home.

 

The indoor swimming pool is located in its own building within the immediate garden, which features three walls made entirely of floor-to-ceiling windows to ensure the tranquil space is flooded with natural light. Large French doors open onto the garden which seamlessly blends the indoor-outdoor space. It also has a bar, changing rooms, a separate yoga studio and a fully-fitted sound system.

 

The home also features a separate living space with an open-plan kitchen and reception room and an ensuite bedroom, perfect for guests or live-in staff.

 

The heating and powering of the home has an A energy rating meaning it is exceptionally energy efficient and completely self sustainable. This is done using 100% renewable energy and the property is fully insulated throughout; this can lead to favourable mortgage rates and massively reduced energy bills.

 

Located behind a secure gate with an intercom system, the home also has CCTV fitted throughout the grounds. Additionally there is a garage and gardeners workshop and studio house with mezzanine.

 

The mature gardens have been developed over 28 years and feature apple, pear and fig trees. A stream runs through the grounds and the walled garden features bespoke raised beds and automated water feeds.

 

The house is in the Piddle Valley, surrounded by some of Dorset's most beautiful countryside and a short drive to the Jurassic Coast. The home is also located within a 20 minute drive of some of the country's most prestigious schools.

An exceptional family home nestled amongst the rolling hills of Dorset

Entered through the large  gates is a driveway with a classical fountain.  The house is positioned within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. 
Stour Provost Manor is an exceptional Grade II-listed late-Georgian country house occupying an extraordinary setting in the heart of the Dorset countryside. 
Believed to have been designed by the celebrated architect William Wilkins, whose works include London’s National Gallery and Downing College, Cambridge. The house combines architectural pedigree with beautifully balanced proportions and far-reaching views across the river Stour.
 
The manor has a classically Georgian facade. 
Inside, soaring sash windows, intricate cornicing, ornate fireplaces and elegantly proportioned rooms create a sense of grandeur throughout this luxurious home. It has been extensively renovated, and every attention to detail has been taken.
The house extends to approximately 8,427 sq ft, with an additional collection of outbuildings, garages and ancillary accommodation bringing the total footprint to more than 10,000 sq ft.

The reception spaces are particularly impressive. A series of beautifully scaled formal rooms lead from the central entrance hall. Perfect for entertaining are two substantial sunny reception rooms and a formal dining room.  All arranged to capture natural light and uninterrupted views across the gardens river and meadows.
High ceilings, grand fireplaces and oversized Georgian windows lend the interiors a remarkable sense of volume. The overall atmosphere remains elegant yet warm, comfortable and deeply liveable rather than overtly formal.
 
At the centre of the house lies an extraordinary kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with bespoke handcrafted cabinetry in burr elm, maple and cherry wood.
Generous in scale and designed for both entertaining and everyday family life, the room opens directly onto a broad sunny entertaining terrace with fountain Beyond beyond astor overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. There is also study, coat room, utility room and boot cupboard.
 
The exceptionally large principal bedroom suite occupies a commanding position on the first floor, enjoying exceptional proportions, surrounded by six windows with dual aspects and far-reaching rural views. A large bathroom and dressing room complete the suite, while five further large double bedrooms are arranged across the floor alongside  additional bathrooms and guest suites. The bedrooms retain the same sense of scale and symmetry found throughout the house, many framed by tall sash windows overlooking the grounds.
 
The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of the estate. Extending to approximately 4.34 acres, they have been carefully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces, from a formal croquet lawn to more natural riverside settings. A  swimming pool and jacuzzi sits on the upper terrace with far stretching views and the astra turf tennis court is conveniently close to the house. The River Stour offers fishing and wild swimming. The kitchen garden is well stocked with fruit trees, a well and a paddock.
 
A charming collection of traditional outbuildings further enhances the house, including a pretty thatched stable block, garaging, store rooms, hay loft and an original ice house.
 
 It has peaceful peaceful setting, and is also remarkably well connected. Gillingham station provides direct services to London Waterloo in around two hours, while Castle Cary offers access to Paddington in approximately 90 minutes. The surrounding area is renowned for its countryside, historic villages and excellent schooling, with Bryanston, Sherborne, Port Regis and Clayesmore all within easy reach. Nearby towns including Shaftesbury, Bruton and Sherborne bring together some of the South West’s best independent restaurants, farm shops and galleries, while the wider landscape of the Blackmore Vale and Cranborne Chase remains among the most beautiful and unspoilt in southern England. 

A separate charming three bedroom riverfront cottage is also available by separate negotiation at £500,000.

A distinguished river fronted elevated Georgian Manor House with far reaching views over the Stour Vale.
