The principal bedroom suite is off one side of the landing with access to a long wraparound balcony through glazed doors. The remaining three bedrooms and two ensuite/dual-access bath and shower rooms are on the other side of the landing with access to a separate westfacing balcony.
Twin electric gates open to an extensive resin parking area in front of the house. Facing the house across the parking area courtyard is another building, containing a two-room home office/library with log-burner, adjacent storeroom and a double garage with a first-floor games room above. The building has the necessary services pre-laid to enable it to be converted into self-contained ancillary accommodation if required.
The garden and grounds extend out on three sides of the house and are designed to minimise maintenance. They incorporate a level lawn studded with a variety of fruit trees and fringed with rose and lavender beds. A ha-ha along the edge of the lawn preserves the uninterrupted view of the adjoining countryside. To one side is the vegetable garden with eight raised vegetable beds and a fruit cage. On the opposite side of the house is a former milking parlour that is now used for storage. Beside it are a timber-framed greenhouse/shed, bee area and the 12kW photovoltaic panel array.
Beyond the garden are a fenced-off reed-bed and three paddocks enclosed by hedging and stock-proof fencing. An
old-style Dorset orchard, with a mixed selection of fruit trees, runs between two hedges parallel to the lane.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
