Surrounded by the beautiful rolling countryside of North Dorset, with views over woodland and open fields, Crendle Court is a private estate situated in an elevated yet secluded position surrounded by its own land.

The estate is within the parish of Purse Caundle and close to the village of Milborne Port which is in a busy and thriving village with a mixture of attractive local stone houses and cottages. The village has a selection of shops, pubs and other local services. A more extensive range of day to day amenities are available close by in the historic abbey town of Sherborne (4 miles to the west).

Transport

Although situated amidst lovely unspoiled countryside, Crendle Court is readily accessible by road and rail. The A303/M3 is just 10 miles to the north, bringing London within two hour’s drive, as well as the business centres along the M3 and M25 corridors.

Fast regular train services to London/Waterloo run from Sherborne and Templecombe stations (5 miles) and the Great Western Intercity Service runs from Castle Cary (15 miles), to London/ Paddington (from 90 minutes). Heathrow airport is within two hour’s drive and there are international airports at Bournemouth and Bristol.

Leisure and Sporting

The towns, villages and countryside around Crendle Court provide for an excellent selection of recreational and sporting activities with golf courses nearby at Sherborne and Rushmore; racing at Wincanton (National Hunt) and Salisbury (flat); hunting with the Blackmore & Sparkford Vale, Cattistock and Portman. There is excellent walking and riding country all around and the south coast is within one hour’s drive for water sports at Poole, Weymouth, Lymington and on the Solent.

A shoot is run over part of the Estate, utilising the extensive, mature woodland and natural undulations of the land.

Schools

This area is also becoming increasingly popular because of the excellent selection of schools at all levels in both the public and private sectors, including the Sherborne Schools, Bryanston, Canford, Milton Abbey and Clayesmore, with prep schools at Leweston, Port Regis, Hazlegrove, Hanford and Sandroyd.

02 03 04 05 06 07 History

The house and stable courtyard were erected in 1909 for the Hon. Mrs A Ker. The architect, Walter Henry Brierley (1862– 1926), was a renowned northern architect who practised in York for 40 years. He is known as “the Yorkshire Lutyens”. He is also credited with being an exponent of the “Wrenaissance” style - incorporating elements of Sir Christopher Wren. Between 1885 and 1926 he was responsible for over 300 buildings, including schools, churches, houses and civic buildings, across the North of England. As well as the main house he also designed the terraces, garden, the Lodge, Barn and Garden Cottages.

The outstanding elaborate ornamental plasterwork that adorns the ceilings in the main reception rooms was executed by the renowned George Bankart from London. He was an architect inspired by the Arts and Craft movement, who believed that there should be no division between architects and craftsmen and he himself became particularly skilled in handworked decorative plaster.

During the war Crendle Court was occupied by the US army. There were large numbers of troops stationed here, billeted in about 50 single-storey, red brick buildings around the estate. Three of these still remain and can be seen in a paddock to the left of the drive on approaching the main house.
