The house features a central hall, kitchen/breakfast room, family snug, and utility room on the ground floor, with five bedrooms on the first floor, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and dressing room.

The farm buildings, which include a carport, garden and machinery storage, stables, and ancillary stores, offer scope for further development and use. The property is situated in a quiet lane with far-reaching views over the Dorset countryside, near the village of Marnhull and the market town of Shaftesbury, with easy access to the A303 and mainline railway stations.
