Nearby Shaftesbury provides a variety of everyday services and shops including public houses, cafes, restaurants, independent and high street shops, a doctors surgery and a cottage hospital.

Further land can be accessed via a wooden gate at the bottom of the garden which leads on to a woodland path which is wholly owned by the house, and gives access to the countryside beyond, perfect for peaceful walks. The timber summerhouse located to the rear of the property is ideally positioned to benefit from breath-taking Blackmore Vale views.
The property is accessed by a private gated driveway leading to a gravelled parking area for a number of vehicles.
