The house is situated next to Redwell Hills Farm, at the north-east edge of Leadgate, close to the roundabout and the Jolly Drovers pub/restaurant, just off the A692. The village of Leadgate is approximately a third of a mile along St. Ives Road, with some local shops and facilities, while Our Lady & St Jospeh Brooms RC Primary School is just a few hundred yards away, along from St Ives Church.
