The house stands in elevated, mature grounds of just under four acres. It is approached up a gravelled drive with land in ownership on one side and bounded by post and rail fencing. The drives splits with one spur leading to a gravelled parking area in front of the house and the other heading round to a series of outbuildings. Standing on one side of the parking area at right angles to the house, attached to it by a covered archway, is a brick-built double garage block surmounted by a clocktower and incorporating an integral workshop. The garden surrounds the house but is principally on three sides and is designed to provide a feeling of space to best enjoy the wonderful views of the surrounding Dorset countryside. The front area of the garden is screened by a beech hedge and several mature trees and leads to the property's paddock. The main area of the formal garden lies behind the house where a herringbone-patterned brick terrace gives way to a sweeping lawn. Close to it on one side is a pretty brick-built gazebo with a tiled roof. To the southwest and surrounded by oak trees, is a small, well-stocked lake with an ornate timber bridge leading to an island. Behind the garage block are several useful outbuildings, including a cedar-clad double garage and a large machinery/garden store (former milking parlour). Alongside are a soft fruit cage, greenhouse and wood sheds.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 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: obtained from Ofcom on September 11, 2023
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
Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on September 16, 2014 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
