The Gatehouse is a single-storey, converted barn, designed for comfort and convenience. Its location provides space and seclusion, whilst being a ten minute walk down the hill to Charmouth. A footpath passes through the site opening up the prospect of numerous country walks. Even without leaving the Gatehouse, gorgeous views of the West Dorset countryside or a glimpse of the World Heritage Coast can be enjoyed.

Access is via an all-weather farm track.
Off-road parking for two cars.
Charmouth has a post office, paper shop, butcher, fish and chip bar, cafes, grocery store, gift shop and pubs.
From the village shops, a level walk takes you to the sand and pebble beach with cafe, fossil shop, and the Heritage Centre, where the geology of this famous Jurassic coast is explained.
Highly recommended for walkers - a footpath follows the farm track past the property.
The owner manages some of the surrounding land with an emphasis on wildlife habitat restoration. In the autumn and winter this features hedge-laying and coppicing. In the summer it's woodland maintenance and charcoal-making.
Other farm buildings nearby are either in use on the farm, or under restoration, and include the owner's workshop.
