The property is set well off the main road, down a driveway and it offers a good degree of privacy and seclusion, on the fringe of the village of North Cheriton, which has an active village hall and church. The neighbouring village of Holton has a pub which is within walking distance, and just a five minute drive away, Charlton Horethorne has a popular pub, village store and primary school.
