Also off the hallway is the dual aspect sitting room with a brick fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove. This room leads through to a spacious dining room with sliding patio door leading to the patio and garden.

There is fitted corner kitchen with cupboards and drawers and a ceramic double sink.

The nearby village of Winterborne Stickland has a thriving community with a church, a pub, sports ground, nursery school and busy village hall, and over the hill in Milton Abbas there is another pub, a post office, a farm shop and café, and a doctors surgery. For a wider range of shops and services it is only a short drive into Blandford with its historic Georgian market square, M&S Food Hall, Tesco, Morrisons and Lidl superstores.
There are lots of good opportunities for sport and recreation in the area, with lovely walking, riding and cycling in the countryside surrounding. This part of Dorset has also become well known for its excellent choice of schools.
