Outside
The entrance to Park House is through timber gates to a gravelled parking and turning area in front of the house, and with access to the double garage. A broad sweep of lawn sets the house back from the edge of the park where mature trees, many of them contemporary with the Hall (built by Salvin in 1828), provide the backdrop. Oak, ash, chestnut and Scots pine are among the predominant species and the park is grazed by cattle through the spring and summer.
There are gates in a mixed beech and hornbeam hedge which lead through to the south facing rear garden surrounded on three sides by a 12’ mellow brick wall. Here there are established herbaceous borders, sweeps of lawn and a central grassed paddock area, mature shrubs and a white wisteria on the southern elevation of the house.
Approximately 2 acres altogether
