The County town of Taunton is about 16 miles to the North and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast is some 12 miles to the South at Lyme Regis.

The almost parkland setting is bolstered by a mixture of specimen trees, herbaceous borders and rockeries whilst there is a plentiful supply of produce from the various fruit trees and vegetable patches. There is also the benefit of a greenhouse, garden store and generous workshop, with potential for alternative uses, overlooking the gardens. Furthermore there is a useful polytunnel and wildlife pond attracting visitors from far afield. The single garage is accessed from School Lane where there is also a field gate into the garden.
