If you enjoy buildings that look like they’re wearing "pinstriped pajamas," Clenston ManorClick to open side panel for more information is your architectural soulmate. This Grade I listed superstar is famous for its "banding"—alternating layers of flint and stone that make it the most fashionable house in the valley.
The Manor: It dates back to the 16th century and features a rare long gallery where Tudor residents presumably practiced their indoor power-walking during rainy Dorset winters.
The Vibe: It’s private, posh, and so pretty it makes nearby houses look like they aren't even trying.
