Nestled on the south facing side of Nine Barrow Down the settlement of Knitson is an unspoilt gem in the heart of the Purbeck countryside.  Accessed by little more than a single track road unknown to many people, the peace and tranquillity of farmland, woodland and nature prevails. The views from this elevated position extend across the valley to the hills beyond, a patchwork of fields, hedges and trees, changing with every season.

A small study is also located off the kitchen.
