Brief description

Steepleton Manor is a large Grade II listed late Victorian Manor House set in 6.5 acres of landscaped grounds, which include a Victorian walled garden. It is situated in the quiet rural location of Winterbourne Steepleton. The village church is nearby and Dorchester is approximately 4 miles away: a river runs alongside the property.

Steepleton Manor is registered to accommodate a maximum of 36 older people, in 24 single and 6 double bedrooms. With the exception of one single bedroom (which has a separate dedicated private bathroom) all offer en-suite toilet facilities. A passenger lift enables access to the first and second floors of the home: at this level four bedrooms are accessed by a short additional flight of stairs.

At first floor level a separate stair lift is fitted to a small staircase and provides assistance to negotiate the stairs. Other facilities include an outdoor heated swimming pool, which can be used during the summer months.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
