Well
established elegant Victorian house close to the centre of the pretty Georgian
market town of Blandford Forum but with the ambience of a country residence.
Portman
Lodge is the main wing and entrance into a large Victorian building originally
known as St Martin's House. The house was built for Lord Portman's estate in
the late 19th century and is thought to have been a residence for choristers
for St Martin's church.
The
majority of the original fixtures and fittings remain, in particular the
attractive Victorian tiled floor in the entrance hall and corridor.
Blandford
Forum is a compact Dorset market town (pop. Circa 8000) that lies 22 miles
south-west of Salisbury and 15 miles north of Poole, a port on the south coast
of England. The surrounding countryside is typical of what anyone would expect
who has read any Thomas Hardy novel. Rolling hills and vales inundated with
hunting chases.
