Location
The property enjoys a prime position within the historic village of Wool, one of Dorset's most well-served villages.

Contrary to popular belief, the name Wool derives from the Anglo-Saxon word for springs or wells rather than sheep. Today the village offers an excellent range of everyday amenities including a mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo in approximately 2 hours 45 minutes, independent butcher and baker, pubs, doctor's surgery, pharmacy, dentist, village hall, sports facilities and playing fields.

The spectacular Jurassic Coast, including Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, lies just a short drive away. Further shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Wareham, approximately five miles distant, and the county town of Dorchester, around twelve miles away.

For those with an interest in local history and literature, nearby Woolbridge Manor was famously referenced by Thomas Hardy as the seat of the d'Urberville family in Tess of the d'Urbervilles, whilst the village itself is home to a medieval church, a 15th-century bridge and the historic remains of Bindon Abbey.
