It is flanked to the north by its former coach house and mill house, and to the south by Shawford Farm, situated beyond a walled garden. Located on the A36, Shawford House lies between the villages of Rode, Beckington, and Woolverton. The nearby towns of Frome and Bradford on Avon provide branch line rail services to Bath, Bristol, Salisbury, and the south coast. The Georgian City of Bath, one of only three UK World Heritage cities, offers extensive leisure, cultural, and educational facilities, as well as a mainline rail service to London Paddington.

Outside
The grounds feature expansive lawns with deep shrub and copse borders. A magnificent Cedar Tree stands immediately to the south of the house, with a gate beyond it leading into a large walled garden. North of the walled garden, there is a tennis court set in a spacious paddock adorned with a variety of specimen trees. To the south lies a delightful orchard and most of the land, arranged as a large paddock. This section of the property borders the river and overlooks a sluice, offering single bank fishing opportunities.
