A ‘one off’ home is on the market for just under two million pounds.
The self-contained Victorian country house at Lewell, near Dorchester, has its very own indoor swimming pool and is on the market for £1,995,000.
Ashley Rawlings of Savills who are managing the sale of the property said: “Tentantrees is a real one off, with so many impressive architectural details both inside and out, a self-contained cottage, lovely, landscaped gardens and a paddock.”
The large family home still has many of its original features including chimney pieces, fireplaces, parquet floors, panelled ceilings and cornicing, leaded light windows and intricate architectural ironmongery.
With an impressive seven bedrooms and four bathrooms the home even comes with a noticeable rose gold tub and matching basin.
Spanning over 10 acres of the land, the property has plenty of mature trees providing privacy, which have been carefully landscaped over the years.
Upon entry to the property, you will be met by a pair of wrought iron gates and at the rear of the house, there are a number of storerooms, as well as a tool store and there is even a separate gardener’s toilet.
The lodge was converted in 2003 to provide a self-contained accommodation suitable for a dependent relative, live in staff or for generating an income stream.
It is believed that the accommodation was built around 1896 for Colonel Caledon Egerton, who was the officer in charge of the 39th Regiment in Dorchester and for his wife Blanche Smith whose father Reginald had been the Rector at West Stafford.
