The estate totalled 3,500 acres and included the parishes of Buscot and the depopulated village of Eaton Hastings. Not much more than half was productive farmland, and the majority of that was pasture. This run-down estate was to become one of the most highly industrialised farms in nineteenth-century England. The bedrooms are accessed from the Hallway. Bedroom One has previously been used as dependant relative accommodation and has the appearance of a second sitting room with tiled hearth and double glazed double doors providing access to the rear garden. Accessed from this room is a further room which would make an ideal dressing room if utilised as a bedroom. The main entrance door leads through to the entrance Lobby with useful storage cupboard and door through to Dining Kitchen, Master bedroom and Bedroom Two .

The Sitting Room is delightfully positioned with double doors providing access to the patio seating area which is sheltered by a recently constructed Oak framed canopy porch.

To complement the distillery, Campbell also built on the island a mill for the manufacture of oil cake, a gas works, an artificial fertiliser works and vitriol works, the latter two using the by-products of the gas works. Coprolite (fossilised dung) and night soil were also employed as fertiliser at Buscot. The family shower room has been well fitted and comprises; corner shower cubicle with shower over, vanity wash hand basin with cabinet storage beneath, low flush WC, airing cupboard housing hot water tank with slat shelving. With a light railway and a turbine-driven mill, it is obvious that only the very latest had any place on Campbell's estate. The main cultivations were carried out by one pair of 20 hp and two pairs of 30 hp Fowler ploughing engines, the 30 hp being over twice the size of normal engines and the largest built at that time. They pulled six-furrow ploughs and at times worked through the night by 'lime light'. Deep cultivations were also tried, and ploughing to the depth of 30 inches is recorded. He also arranged that the water pumps could be driven by traction engine in times of drought. Similarly, the Oldfield mill could be driven externally by traction engine should the turbine fail. Traction engines were also widely used for estate duties.
