The original dwelling on the site was Saxon. It was replaced with the current house in the 13th century and altered again in Tudor times.
The Grade I-listed home has Elizabethan beams in the dining room and 14th-century carved stone fireplaces, plus a stone spiral staircase and an ancient oriel window seat, along with four bedrooms and ample living space.
Business potential is found among its range of Grade II-listed farm buildings, which include a 16th-century threshing barn, ripe for conversion into holiday lets, offices or workshops.
There are more than three-and-a-half acres of grounds that contain beautiful gardens and paddocks.
The property is also only 2.7 miles from the Jurassic Coast.
It’s for sale for £1.5 million through Knight Frank (01935 589026).
The house features original flagstones and Elizabethan-era wooden beams (Rightmove)
