Further afield, there is primary schooling at Western Downland at Rockbourne/Damerham and the Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 4 miles) offers a wider range of shopping facilities, as well as banks, a library and health centre. The local road network provides good access to the regional centres of the area, with Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton all within day-to-day driving distance; all have mainline rail links to London and there are international airports at the latter two. The outdoor enthusiast is well served by the local area, with lovely walking and cycling routes, whilst the New Forest National Park lies about 5 miles to the East.
A long drive way approaches the house and outbuildings, supplying parking and manoeuvring space for numerous vehicles.
The house occupies a central position within its magnificent gardens, which are a particular highlight and feature extensive sweeping lawns with well-stocked, colourful deep flower and shrub beds. To the south-westerly elevation is a well located terrace with summer house, which is an ideal vantage point for enjoying the delightful garden and outlook and behind the house is an enclosed outdoor, solar-heated swimming pool with terraced surround. To the north-east elevation a further section of enclosed garden has been cultivated with extensive, well stocked vegetable beds and a greenhouse.
