History

Hurn Court has a rich history dating back to the 11th Century when it served as a monastic dwelling associated with Christchurch Priory. In the 1700s, the estate came under the ownership of the Earl of Malmesbury. Subsequently, it underwent a transformation and gained recognition as a prominent public school. However, following the school’s closure in the late 1980s, the estate was reimagined into 35 distinct properties, making Hurn Court a truly unique and captivating place to call home.
