The Post House lies close to the centre of the rural village of Holwell sought after for being easy driving distance of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and market town of Dorchester. Both Sherborne and Dorchester are easily accessed and provide between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with many walks to be had from the village itself while the region is well known for its public and privately funded schooling. Communication links are good with a main line station at Sherborne linking directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

A gated entrance leads to a generous area of parking and turning space, with lawn and natural pond perfect for wildlife. Timber gates provide access to the rear gardens and further area of parking with detached quadruple garage access. The garaging is fitted with twin electric operated roller doors. Internal stairs within the garage lead to a useful first floor room, currently used as a hobby room, but would also serve as an ideal work from home space. Further garden storage includes a dwarf wall greenhouse and range of shed storage. The rear gardens are wonderfully private, offering areas of terracing, level lawn and an abundance of floral borders along with specimen and fruit trees.
