    About this property

    • Occupying an exceptional position within the historic Hurn Court estate, this is a truly remarkable Grade II Listed manor residence, offering an impressive combination of period grandeur, contemporary luxury and an enviable private setting.

      Dating from the 16th century and forming part of an estate with origins dating back to the 11th century, Hurn Court is steeped in history and character. Number 8 has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owners to create an outstanding home extending to more than 3,500 sq ft and arranged over four floors. The result is a beautifully considered residence where original architectural features sit effortlessly alongside a sophisticated modern specification.

      From the impressive entrance, the scale and elegance of the property become immediately apparent. The accommodation includes a magnificent wood-panelled drawing room, cinema room, utility and boot rooms, together with beautifully appointed entertaining and living spaces. The first floor provides an exceptional open-plan kitchen and dining area alongside a further elegant reception room, whilst the upper floors accommodate a superb principal bedroom suite with dressing room and luxurious bathroom, together with two further bedrooms and additional bathroom facilities.

      Throughout the house, considerable care has been taken to preserve the character of the building. High ceilings, ornate coving, sash windows, period panelling and impressive fireplaces provide a wonderful sense of heritage, whilst a comprehensive refurbishment has introduced modern heating, electrical and security systems, enhanced insulation and beautifully designed interiors.

      The upper floors also benefit from wonderful views across the surrounding estate, while the versatile accommodation lends itself equally well to family living, entertaining or use as an exceptional second home.

      Hurn Court itself is approached through secure electric gates and occupies approximately ten acres of beautifully maintained private grounds. The setting is remarkably peaceful, with mature landscaping, open countryside and an abundance of wildlife creating a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Residents also benefit from designated parking, visitor parking and a garage.

      For those seeking a home that combines history, privacy and convenience, Hurn Court is exceptionally rare. It offers the grandeur of a country estate without the maintenance associated with a large standalone historic house, making it equally appealing as a permanent residence or a sophisticated lock-and-leave retreat.

The centres of Christchurch and Bournemouth are both approximately four miles away, providing an extensive selection of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and everyday amenities, whilst the beautiful Dorset coastline is also within easy reach.
    • The nearby New Forest provides an outstanding range of opportunities for walking, cycling, riding and exploring, with miles of open heathland, ancient woodland and picturesque villages to discover.
