Situation

Stalbridge is Dorset’s smallest town boasting a busy traditional High Street with many shops and businesses including post office, butcher, hairdresser, dentist, cycle shop and busy local supermarket. Many businesses are second or third generation family run and help to provide an excellent community which also has a church and primary school. The market town of Sturminster Newton is approximately 6 miles to the south and the larger towns of Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Wincanton are within a 20 minute drive. Road links are excellent with the A30 at Henstridge and A303 at Wincanton and Templecombe (3.5 miles) has a mainline railway to London Waterloo. The surrounding area has an abundance of good quality schools and some of the finest countryside with excellent walking, cycling and riding. The coast at Bournemouth/Poole is within an hour's drive.

Directions

From the A30 at Henstridge, take the A357 south to Stalbridge. Go through the town and at the Triangle in Stalbridge at the junction of Ring Street and Thornhill Road take the turning right into Grosvenor Road. The first turning on the right is Pound Close and go up to and in-between No's 23 & 24 and the entrance to The Rowans is just there on the right. There is a footpath to the Dyke's car park outside the gates.

Outside

Approached via gates from the lane, there is an expanse of parking with a double garage detached from the house. A path leads to the front door and sun room. The gardens surround the house, mainly laid to lawn and bordered to the north by a high hedge. A small orchard is the kitchen side of the garden and intriguingly there is a path that leads back through a 'secret' gate to the village centre of Ring Street.

At the top of the drive is a five bar gate and a footpath leads into Dyke's Supermarket car park.
