There is a local shop and pub available in the nearby village of Shalfleet whilst the picturesque harbour town of Yarmouth, approximately 3.5 miles away has a range of restaurants, public houses, a yacht club, sailing club and frequent ferry services to Lymington taking approximately 35 minutes.

The farmhouse is believed to originate from the 1800’s and was built of brick elevations under a slate roof. It was subsequently extended in around 1960 under a part tiled and part flat roof providing a spacious addition to the accommodation. Parts of the house would now benefit from modernisation. The house is set in a mature largely west facing garden and has brick outbuildings including a workshop immediately to the south. There is a range of farm buildings to the south accessed separately. The land comprises some fields of pasture partly overlooked from the house as well as a larger arable field to the south. Please see the section o tenure concerning both the ability for the current elderly owner to remain in occupation of the farmhouse and garden, as well as the land and farm buildings being let on a Farm Business Tenancy.
