This stunning property is located within the small village of Tollard Royal and within walking distance to the local pub. The Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury is just eight miles away and has shops, supermarkets and restaurants, perfect for grabbing a bite to eat or picking up essentials. Set within an estate of 7000 acres, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy activities in the area. Keen walkers will find plenty of routes and trails to discover, or if you want to perfect your swing, an 18 hole parkland golf course is just a short drive from the property. There are also Victorian Pleasure Gardens within walking distance, or the cathedral city of Salisbury and the New Forest National Park are both easy destinations for day trips.
