Reception OUTSIDE SPACE The gardens at Barnyards are a delight and were thoughtfully and carefully planted by a former chairwoman of the local gardening club. The South-facing rear, walled, garden is packed full of perennial plants, specimen shrubs and trees in brick edged beds. There are two Fig trees gently warmed by the brick walls, two striking Silver Birch trees and rose covered arches. An old 5-bar gate gives views across the neighbouring pony field and there are paved terraces accessed from all the main rooms. A gate by the office/garden room leads into the kitchen garden. This productive space is divided into 4 richly composted beds with one given over to soft fruit. A modern greenhouse is tucked to one side and a rose covered arch leads into a further area of garden. This is laid mainly to lawn with fruit trees interspersed and there is a screened area for compost. To the front of the property is the more formal garden, edged with neatly trimmed Box hedging, with a fine Magnolia tree and a climbing Hydrangea. There is a substantial, brick-built double garage with electric remote control door, a plant room housing the borehole water supply. The whole garden has an automatic watering system fed with water from the private borehole supply.
