The Stone Barn has ample parking space on the yard in front of the barn, where the walls in summer are clad in roses and honeysuckle. There is an additional, single parking space off the passing lane just beyond the barn. At one end of the former stable block is an integral, single garage that opens onto the yard. Close to the barn and just off the edge of the concrete yard is a gravelled outside dining area. Beyond it opens out into the garden, which amounts to about a third of an acre and extends out on the western and southern sides of the barn. To the south is a gently sloping lawn with fantastic views out over the surrounding countryside and out over Kimmeridge Bay. The lawn is flanked on one side by an attractive stream set within a steep-sided gully, whose sides are dotted with several mature, native trees including willow, ash and dogwood along with several fruit trees. On the western side of the barn is a sheltered lawn bound on three sides by tall, stone walling and easily maintained, raised borders.
The Stone Barn has an idyllic setting on the edge of the small village of Kimmeridge, which is situated within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is just a mile from Kimmeridge Bay. The village has a parish church and village hall and for most day-to-day needs there is an excellent range of local shops, services and amenities in the small town of Wareham, which has a Sainsbury's, the popular Salt Pig farm shop and a farmer's market every Saturday (see and ). In addition, the sizeable towns of Dorchester, Poole and Bournemouth are all within easy driving distance. For travel links the A351 running through Corfe Castle is just 2 miles away, there is a direct rail service from Wareham train station to Waterloo (2.5 hours) and the airports at Bournemouth and Southampton are both relatively close by. The local area is also blessed with a wide choice of schools from both the state and independent sectors including Canford, Sunninghill, Milton Abbey, Bryanston and Knighton House, which are all within a 20-mile radius.

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
