“Dunhurst,” Alton Road, Steep, Petersfield, Hampshire

A financially independent preparatory school for Bedales School was started in 1902 by Russell Scott.  By 1904 it required new buildings and Russell Scott bought a small plot of land on the southern edge of the Bedales estate, employing his brother-in-law, Percy Scott Worthington as architect. Dunhurst has been much altered and extended, however the garden front remains generally unaltered. The facade is dominated by three large gables on the roof line, under these are two two-storey bay windows flanking a two-window section of elevation.”

“In an Arts and Crafts style. Mansard roof, the shallower upper pitch carried through to the gable-ends, the steeper lower pitch hipped. Three gabled dormers to the front and a pair of full height canted bays. [Pevsner]

Russell Scott (IV) married Susanna Loetitia (Lucy), daughter of Thomas Worthington and Elizabeth Anne nee Scott  in 1897
