The village has an excellent primary school, community stores with post office, a pub, a playground with tennis court, cricket club, church, plus a village hall and church house which between them offer a wide variety of activities for all. More extensive facilities are available at either Williton or Bishops Lydeard each about 4 miles away.

The surrounding area affords some of the most attractive countryside within the district and there are numerous opportunities for the enjoyment of country pursuits as well as a myriad of footpaths to explore. The property occupies a peaceful and quaint village location but is not in any way remote.

You will approach the property on a private lane which leads you up to the main driveway to the house. A gated entrance gives way to a pretty walled garden with private driveway through the centre and up to main entrance. There is private parking for approximately 5/6 cars and a very useful storage shed/log store. A washed stone chipped corner of the garden allows for a peaceful seating area dappled in light from the mature trees.
To the rear of the property is an enchanting walled garden separating the property to the main house at Crowcombe Court. Here, you will find an array of mature and colourful variations of plants, flowers, shrubs and trees. There is a pretty ornamental pond and ample space for seating and entertaining. The garden is enclosed and offers a serene haven for seating and dining. There is a slightly raised sun terrace with a pretty archway leading on to a level lawn with box hedging and mature shrubs.
