It's very easy to imagine yourself wafting around this stunning country garden of a morning, before spending the afternoon around the pool.

To live that dream, you need a cool £2.5million.

This beautiful Grade II listed Georgian house in the heart of a thriving village, has eight bedrooms and some very well-tended landscaped gardens.

Just three miles from Lulworth, the quintessential countryside manor house is understood to date from the 18th Century.

It is located in the centre of the chocolate box Dorset village of Winfrith, not far from Durdle Door and Lulworth Castle

There is a dining room and study with tall sash windows and a working fireplace in the study.

The kitchen and breakfast room is located on the far side of the house with stone worktops and a gas-fired 2-oven Aga.

The adjacent sitting room provides a cosy reception space with built in bookshelves.

The staircase is understood to be original and leads up to the first floor from the inner hall which also links to the cloakroom and wine cellar.

The main bedroom has wonderful views over the gardens, with a dressing room and en suite bathroom.

Five other bedrooms are found on the first floor, with the second floor having two rooms which could be used as bedrooms if required as well as a further store room.

The grounds have been improved with assistance of the renowned designer Jane Hurst.

Adjacent to the house is a wide stone terrace with the gardens laid out in a variety of rooms with a lavender walk, terraced formal croquet lawn, deep herbaceous borders, a parterre garden, pergola, clipped hedges and a variety of specimen trees.

There is a swimming pool and a hard tennis court. At the far end of the grounds is an orchard, an area of mature woodland with a pond and the River Win runs within the western boundary.
