The village has a filling station/mini supermarket on the West side, a church, a village hall, a public house and a cricket club while both Sherborne and Yeovil provide between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with golf clubs at Wheathill, Sherborne and Yeovil while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schools. Communication links are good with main line stations at both Castle Cary and Sherborne linking directly with London Paddington and London Waterloo respectively while road links are along the A303 joined nearby giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

The driveway provides ample parking and turning space, in addition to the double garage which benefits from an electric up-and-over door and internal access to the house.

A large paved terrace, directly outside the sitting room, provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
