When you choose a Princes Court home you are choosing a world of comfort and style without compromise, being designed by Cheshire Robbins to very high standards with space and character.
Artists impression.
Princes Court is a development of ten homes, some with split level accommodation, all centrally situated around a peaceful courtyard setting with seating and water features. Built to exacting specifications by Young & Partners, they offer a rare opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of modern design and construction technology, whilst living in a traditional village location.
At Princes Court it was a condition of planning that each house owner must be 55 years or older, but with any aged family or friends able to live with them. Young & Partners saw this as an opportunity to create a 'community within a village' where the owners can relax in the carefully designed communal courtyard, or enjoy the privacy of their own home and some their own small garden.
Princes Court has been designed to be in harmony with the surrounding Puddletown area which promotes a quiet and tranquil way of life with rolling hills, quiet roads and its own forest where you can walk with nature. Yet the bright lights, shopping centers, theatres and cinemas are close at hand in Bournemouth which can be reached by car in under an hour.

Puddletown
As a settlement, Puddletown is very ancient, originally inhabited in the Bronze Age. In Saxon times the village is recorded as belonging to Earl Harold and it appears in the Doomsday book.
The suffix 'town' is derived from Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'enclosure' - but more famously the village is known throughout the world as 'Weatherbury' from Thomas Hardy's 'Far from the Madding Crowd'.
The village is still very much as Hardy saw it, and with the recent completion of the A35 by-pass, Puddletown has been restored to its former tranquil English village standing.
