An elegant three double bedroom second floor apartment in this outstanding Grade II* Listed Stately Home set in around ten acres of beautifully tended parkland grounds adjacent to the River Stour, including tennis courts and an ornamental lake. The property is offered with no onward chain. Hurn Court was formerly known as Heron Court and has its origins in the middle ages as a monastery serving Christchurch Priory. Gifted by the younger Pitt, it became the main seat of the Earl of Malmesbury in the 18th Century, and has enjoyed dalliances with Lord Nelson, Stanley Baldwin, composer Handel and Lillie Langtry. Fitz was the final Earl in residence after which the house was used as a school, and then in 1995 the imposing manor house was beautifully restored into individual homes, continuing the interesting history. Within the extended grounds there are six detached houses and a variety of town houses.

The hall has been given a magnificent makeover affording a truly splendid entrance with a wonderful feature cupola in the centre. There are two sets of pure silk curtains providing attractive divisions and the wall paper is by Osborne and Little.

There are various ornamental fireplaces forming features and focal points of rooms, high ceilings and large sash windows.
