There is an 18 hole golf course nearby at Rushmore Park and the area is well served by a variety of independent schools at Bryanston, Clayesmore, Sandroyd, Sherborne, Canford, Leweston, St Marys Shaftesbury and Port Regis.

Description Jasmine Cottage is a pretty Grade II Listed cottage constructed with rendered elevations under a thatched and tiled roof. The property has been sympathetically improved by the vendors over the past six years since being purchased from the Rushmore Estate and now has pleasing accommodation comprising sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, bathroom and two/three bedrooms. The property also benefits from oil fired central heating, an open fireplace in the sitting room, some exposed beams and wardrobes to the bedrooms. The gardens which include tiered lawns, are planted with a variety of flowers/shrubs and young trees and from the rear there are fine views across the village.

OutsideGravelled driveway leading to parking/turning area. The front garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging providing privacy with a number of trees and shrubs.

The gardens are pleasantly secluded and enjoy lovely views from their elevated position. The property extends in total to about 0.33 of an acre.
