What The Owner Says'
For the more adventurous there are many country and riverside walks, including the 'Dorset Trailway' which can take you all the way to Spetisbury, taking in a variety of environments along its' route. Well worth a visit is the fully working water mill, a wonderful piece of industrial archaeology. The machinery runs every day the Mill is open and every second weekend in the month, it still produces flour, that is sold at the Mill.
The current owner says, 'I was attracted to the house because of the generous proportions of the rooms and the beautiful views to the front of the house and the open spaces to the rear, which I have continued to enjoy throughout my time here'.
