Location

Located on Bleke Street, the property is a short walk from the centre of Shaftesbury which is a town situated on the A30 sometwenty miles west of Salisbury. It is the only significant hilltop settlement in Dorset on the edge of Cranborne Chase.

The town looks over the Blackmore Vale, part of the River Stour basin. From different viewpoints, it is possible to see at least as far as Glastonbury Tor to the northwest.

Shaftesbury is the site of the former Shaftesbury Abbey, which was founded in 888 by King Alfred and became one of the richest religious establishments in the country, before being destroyed in the dissolution in 1539. Adjacent to the abbey site is Gold Hill, a steep cobbled street used in the 1970s as the setting for Ridley Scott's television advertisement for Hovis bread.

In the 2011 Census the town's civil parish had a population of 7,314.
