Vendors Comments:

"Such a great mix of rural living, but still in easy reach of Blandford, Shaftesbury and Wimborne. Lots of walking with the trailway, with handy pubs and cafes along the routes. Great child safe off road cycling, plus access to more challenging terrain. Easy house to run, stays warm, and the open fire is a cosy addition for a winters afternoon. Sadly needing to move for work
