Situation - Situated approximately five miles southeast of Sherborne, Redgate enjoys a rural setting with far reaching southerly views across the rolling Blackmore Vale countryside.

A notable feature is a historic dew pond situated in the south-eastern corner, dating back to the 17th century. The land is further enhanced by a number of mature oak trees within the boundaries, together with a mature willow tree to the south. Classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) Map, the property is enclosed by thick, well-established hedgerows, creating an attractive and highly private setting.
