Sporting facilities in the area include golf at Blandford, Dorchester and Wareham, horse racing at Wincanton, Exeter and Bath and water sports can be enjoyed along the Dorset coast to the south at Weymouth Bay and Poole Harbour.

There are many interesting internal features of note with several rooms having fielded panelling with moulded dado rail. The sitting room has a moulded cornice and on the first floor two rooms have coved and segmental plastered ceilings. The house has accommodation which includes two reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms, dressing room, shower and bathroom and is surrounded by its own gardens which are in turn surrounded by open farmland.
