Situation

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.

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.

Crendle Court is approached via a long drive, past The Lodge, over a stream and between paddocks and grass meadows. The drive then splits, with one spur going to the main house and the other to the cottages, outbuildings and walled gardens.

Crendle CourtCrendle Court is an imposing Edwardian manor house constructed of forest marble stone, some of which was sourced from a small, now redundant, quarry on the estate. The roofs are covered with red hand-made quarry tiles.

The handsome house has a symmetrical west-facing front facade with gabled ends and a central stone gabled porch. The accommodation is predominantly laid over the ground and 1st floor, although there is additional storage space found in the substantial cellars and attic rooms. The main reception rooms are very well proportioned and the layout offers ideal space for entertaining and family living. There are original period features throughout the property including sash windows with shutters, redwood panelling, oak floorboards, fireplaces and ornate plaster work which is of particular note.

Pesvner describes the house as a “Large and reposeful neo-Georgian house… banded in the local way, with local ashlars and rubble stone.”

Over the last five years the house has been re-plumbed and a new state-of-the-art oil-fired boiler fitted and the central heating extended. The electrical lighting wiring has been renewed. The roof was replaced in the mid nineties, using the old tiles, with felt underneath. With the new kitchen and dining area, this represented capital expenditure of nearly £300,000. When the new hot and cold pipes were laid additional ones to the proposed sites of extra bathrooms were also installed. Architect’s plans are available showing a conversion to 7 bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom.

The double front doors with stone quoin detailing, open into a porch with flagstone tiled floor, arched recesses to either side and a small circular window. A second pair of double doors lead into the Reception Hall with polished wooden floor, stone fireplace, ornate plaster work ceiling, wood panelling from floor to ceiling, pretty built-in display cupboards with glazed doors and doors to further accommodation.

The Dining Room is a well proportioned room with wood panelling, polished floor boards, stone fireplace with wooden mantle and ornate plaster ceiling depicting zodiac signs and intertwined oak leaves with acorns.

The Drawing Room is dual aspect and features wood panelling from floor to ceiling, ornate plaster work including vines and musical instruments, and a fireplace with marble slips and wooden mantle.

The Kitchen/ Breakfast Room is a fantastic dual aspect room. The room has a tile floor, fitted wall and floor units with marble-effect work surface, stainless steel sink and Miele dishwasher. There is an island, incorporating Bosch hobs and Everhot Aga-style electric oven with hobs and two ovens (not included in sale). There are doors to a large walk-in storage cupboard with shelving, the east facing terrace and the Archway Flat.

A wide passage runs through the middle of the house with staircases to the first floor and doors to the garden at either end. The passage has a parquet floor, fan lights and arched door cases and a decorative panelled area with arched recess with display shelving. A door also leads to stairs rising from the Cellars which include a series of rooms with wine shelving, boiler and water treatment services.

The Sitting Room (originally The Smoking Room) has parquet flooring, stone fireplace with wooden mantle and picture and dado rail.

The Study has a polished parquet floor, views over the rear garden, a fireplace with tiled surround and wooden mantle, and working shutters.

They are mainly laid to lawn but are well stocked with mature trees, beech and yew hedges, flowers and shrubs.

There is a pretty stone pump house with an electric pump situated close to a spring in a paddock to the east of the main drive. This provides most of the properties with a private water supply. To the west of the drive in a post-and-rail paddock are three brick single-storey army billets which now provide field shelters. In a paddock to the south of the house is an additional field shelter.

Directions - DT9 5DTFrom the A303, leave at the Wincanton junction, signposted A371 towards Wincanton/ Blandford. Take the 1st exit at the next three roundabouts signposted A357. Continue for 5.4 miles, going through Templecombe and at the cross roads (with traffic lights) turn right onto the A30 signposted to Sherborne. After approx 2.7 miles turn right into the private drive of Crendle Court.

The private tarmaced drive, which is ¼ mile long, passes over a pretty stone bridge and continues through the estate, bordered by sections of open fields, hedging and woodland. At the top, it splits with the left hand spur leading up to pretty cast iron gates that open onto the formal gravel drive to the main house. This is flanked by stone gate pillars and beech hedging. The drive, with an avenue of lime trees, leads up to the gravelled and partly walled forecourt in front of the house.

LottingIf the property is not sold as a whole, priority is likely to be given to the sale of Lot 1 before negotiations in relation to other lots. In the event of a sale in lots, cross rights and reservations may be imposed and granted for the provision of access, services and maintenance.

Method of sale and tenureThe estate is offered for sale by private treaty with vacant possession on completion, subject to the current occupancies set out below:

Planning The estate is offered for sale subject to any development plans, tree preservation orders, ancient orders and public rights of way.

Lots 2, 3 and 4 including Spurles Farm and Henwood Cottage are subject to a Section 52 Agreement, which dictates the farm can not be split up, unless a Deed of Variation can be obtained. The Section 52 Agreement also stipulates that Henwood Cottage is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition. Accordingly Lots 2, 3 and 4 will be sold as one unless permission is obtained to sell separately.

The vendors may explore the possibility of transferring the Agricultural Occupancy Condition from Henwood Cottage to Garden Cottage or another property.
