The White House is approached up a short, gravelled approach drive to a broad turning circle in front of the house. To one side of the approach drive is a double garage built in a similar style to the house with a first-floor studio. The garden extends out to the front and on two sides of the house and is bound by stone walling and close boarded fencing along with mature trees and shrubs, effectively screening the house and garden. It comprises a series of level lawns fringed by mature shrubs and richly planted borders. One of the lawns extends out from a paved terrace on the western side of the house and forms a completely sheltered space that catches the sun from late morning through to the evening, with a summer house to one side of the terrace and French windows providing direct access to the kitchen. Behind the house and set below the study is a further paved seating area, with a concrete path leading down to The Coach House. This has been converted to provide a self-contained guest cottage and comprises a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, two first floor double bedrooms and two shower rooms (one en-suite).
Preston 1.4 miles, Weymouth Station (Waterloo 3 hours) 4.4 miles, Weymouth town centre 5.4 miles, Dorchester (Waterloo 2.75 hours) 7.9 miles, Bournemouth International Airport 31.8 miles. (Distances and times approximate).
The White House is situated in the small and scenic village of Osmington, which is set against a backdrop of the South Dorset Ridgway with its unique figure of the Osmington White Horse carved into the hillside. The surroundings offer great walking and riding opportunities and the Dorset Coastal Path, leading to a little used beach in Osmington Bay, is just 7 minutes' walk from The White House.
The village has a Church, a Dairy shop and Tea Room, a pub at Osmington Mills, and two convenience stores in nearby Preston (1.4 miles). For wider requirements the village is close to the coastal town of Weymouth (5.4 miles) and the county town of Dorchester (7.9 miles), both of which offer an excellent and comprehensive range of shops and local businesses, with Dorchester boasting two Waitrose stores.
Direct rail services to London Waterloo are available from nearby Moreton (normally about 2½ hours). Bournemouth and Exeter International Airports are both just over an hour's drive away.
Dorset is also home to a wide variety of schools from both the state and independent sectors. Notable independent schools within easy driving distance include Sunninghill, Milton Abbey, Bryanston, Knighton House and Hanford.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
