Bishop's Caundle is a charming Dorset village situated 6 miles south-east of Sherborne (the main road running through the village is the A3030, connecting to Sherborne), 12 miles north-west of Blandford Forum and 18 miles north of Dorchester. The village benefits from convenient access to the A303 and A357, providing connectivity towards Yeovil, Salisbury and wider South West. Sherborne Railway Station, located nearby, provides regular direct services to London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids. The village is highly regarded for its tight-knit community, local stone and thatched cottages, and rich rural heritage. The White Hart is situated in a prominent roadside position on Main Road within the heart of the village, benefiting from strong visibility and passing traffic through the village, as well as local trade.
The White Hart is available on the basis of a brand new 7-year free of tie lease. Annual rent of £26,000. The property is available from the end of June 2026.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
