Dockenfield is an active and vibrant village which offers a church, the popular Bluebell pub and many well supported community events and clubs including the annual Dockenfield Day village fete and Horticultural Society. The nearby villages of Frensham and Rowledge boast a variety of local facilities including a village shop, Post Office, butcher, public houses, cricket and tennis clubs and excellent schools. There is sailing and fishing at the National Trust Frensham Ponds and many well-regarded golf courses close by.

The Shipwrights Way, a 50-mile scenic cycle route to the south coast is adjacent to the property. The pretty Georgian market town of Farnham provides the area with an excellent range of shopping and leisure facilities, with the more extensive facilities of Guildford a little further afield. The train station at Bentley is just three miles away with trains to London Waterloo in about an hour.
