Rodgrove House lies on the outskirts of the Somerset town of Wincanton within driving distance of many of the town's amenities which include a number of good public houses and restaurants and a good selection of local shops with a large Morrison's supermarket on the southern side of the town.  Wincanton lies to the north west of both the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil with Castle Cary to the north west which lies within short motoring distance providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities.  Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling.  Communication links are good with a main line station at Templecombe linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined nearby giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

The formal garden is completely enclosed, offering a wide expanse of lawn, with mature hedge borders. To the south east of the residence there is a vegetable garden, with apple trees and greenhouse. There is a concrete block and asbestos roofed double garage, with up and over doors. There are a range of 15 dilapidated stables in three bays, with feed room, tackroom and workshop adjoining. This area requires investment and has opportunity for alternative uses subject to consents. A yard area fronts the stables with independent road access. There is a further dutch barn in poor state of repair.
The land lies to the west of the property and has good access from both the stables and the main road. The land is level and split into two paddocks, with water supply. In all the land extends to approximately 9.11 acres.
