GRADE II* LISTED STONE BUILT HOUSE EXUDING CHARACTER, CHARM & MANY ORIGINAL FEATURES WITH 4 BEDROOMS, 4 BATHROOMS & SOUTH FACING WALLED GARDEN Swanage is a desirable residential area and a popular holiday and second home destination, with a multitude of attractions and events throughout the year. Sitting on the eastern edge of the Purbeck peninsular, the sandy beaches extend the length of Swanage Bay. As well as the constant draw of the beaches, Swanage forms part of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, and boasts the Historic Steam Railway, a variety of Restaurants and Character Pubs, good Schools and a unique assortment of Shops. Set within a delightful walled south facing garden, Newton Manor Hall presents an exciting and unique opportunity to acquire an historic Grade II* Listed building, offering an abundance of charm and character, set within walking distance of Swanage town, sea front and beaches. Newton Manor Hall was originally a 17th Century barn, part of the Newton Manor Farm and was converted into a dining room for the farmhouse in the 19th Century. Newton Manor Hall itself has a stone slate roof with glazed timber lantern and turret in the centre. There is a large stone mullioned oriel window in the former cart entrance in the south side facing the High Street. West of and adjoining the hall, is a lower structure of similar construction originally a cottage considerably reconstructed and now forms part of the accommodation of the hall. In 1876 the entire property was bought by Sir John Charles Robinson, director of the Victoria & Albert Museum, who carried out considerable works to the property. The coach house in the south west corner of the site which is accessed via Morrison Road, is a late 18th Century Purbeck stone walled and roofed single storey building with double timber doors fronting the Morrison Road part of the site. The structure is Grade II* Listed. The northern stone boundary wall is probably 18th Century, having cock and hen copings over the length of 9 metres. There is a ball topped pier mid away along the wall which defines the edge of the courtyard immediately outside of the coach house. Internally within the courtyard and coach house the covering of cobblestones remains unaltered and retained as an important historic feature. A cast iron Victorian water pumping handle sits next to the gate to the High Street. An impressive Front Door with dressed stone surround and stone coat of arms above opens into the vestibule with tiled floor and generous space for coats and shoes. The inside of the Front Door is an oak original, ornately carved, around the wall is original wood panelling incorporating an oak cloak stand and a sky light brings natural daylight to this space.

A floor to ceiling south facing stone mullion bay window with leaded light windows cascades daylight into the body of the room, highlighting the floor to ceiling Purbeck Stone fireplace, a lovely symmetrical feature with raised hearth, and stone archway, leading up to stone corbels supporting a high wooden mantlepiece and architrave framing to match in with the half height wooden panelling surrounding the whole room. A wood burning stove is fitted to maximise efficiency of heat output. The western end of the main hall provides plenty of room to accommodate a large formal dining table, comfortably seating in excess of 10 people. The ceiling has exposed beams and is vaulted above the stairway and landing rising up to provide a viewing platform of the historic glazed timber roof turret.
