Newton Manor Hall
Welcome to Newton Manor Hall. This historic building, once owned by Charles I, is set in the beautiful village of Swanage. Entering directly off of the road into a delightful, walled, south-facing garden, Newton Manor Hall presents an exciting and unique opportunity to stay in an historic Grade II* listed building. This semi-detached house stands on Saxon foundations and is first recorded in 1597. In the first half of the 16th century it was owned by Charles I when used as a hunting lodge and cart barn, being part of Newton Manor Farm. In 1872 the property was bought by Sir John Charles Robinson, director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He converted it into a grand dining hall, adding a magnificent stone mullioned window where the cart barn entrance was along with a commanding fireplace and beautiful doors from Europe. The front door was originally from a church in Spain and brought over by Sir Charles on one of his many trips collecting for the Victoria and Albert Museum. His crest is located over the front door.
Newton Manor Hall is everything you can imagine. Entering via a grand front door, you will find yourself directly in the grand hall where with its impressive open fireplace, which is perfect place to relax in front with its roaring fire. The well-equipped kitchen is also to be found on the ground floor. Taking the beautiful staircase up to the first floor, you can view the grand hall from the gallery-style landing. Two bedrooms can be foundon this level, one with a super kingsize bed and a second with a kingsize bed and en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom with an over-bath rain shower.
This impressive home is within walking distance of the Victorian seaside town of Swanage, along with its sandy beaches, local restaurants, pubs and many more attractions for the whole family to enjoy. There is an abundance of beautiful places to visit on foot or within a short drive. You can even take the Victorian steam train to charming Corfe Castle; with its historic background and breathtaking views, be sure to remember your camera. Swanage is wonderfully placed for exploring The Isle of Purbeck, along with iconic Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Durlston Country Park, Studland and Old Harry Rocks to name but a few places of interest.
The Jurassic Coast was the first wholly natural World Heritage Site to be designated in the United Kingdom, and the owner will happily advise on places to visit. Grade II* buildings are particularly important buildings of more than special interest; only 5. 8% of listed buildings in England are Grade II*. Beach ½ mile.
