Great House Farm is situated on the southern side of the village and is reached from Dover Street via a long access road. The buildings currently comprise a mix of older traditional brick and Marnhull stone barns and a range of modern portal frame buildings around a traditional farmyard.
The views to the north are over open fields and to Duncliffe Wood while the panoramic views to the south incorporate Melbury Beacon, Compton Abbas, Hambledon Hill and Bulbarrow and the surrounding countryside in the distance.
Stour Row is a desirable village situated about 5 miles from Sturminster Newton and 3 miles south of the Saxon hilltop Town of Shaftesbury. Shaftesbury, made famous by its cobbled street Gold Hill is a popular town offering a good range of high street and boutique shops, supermarkets, secondary schooling and recreational facilities. Further east is the cathedral city of Salisbury offering the usual facilities and opportunities of a regional centre. The property has the benefit of a rural position combined with good access to the A30 and a mainline station at Gillingham (6 miles).
There is an excellent network of footpaths and bridleways to the surrounding countryside and Duncliffe Hill which provides breath-taking views over the Blackmore Vale.
There are excellent junior, secondary and independent schools in the area.
