The gardens and grounds are a sheer delight and would please any keen gardener whilst allowing plenty of room for children to run and play.
The gardens extend to three sides of the property, each creating a different purpose. The rear and principal garden is predominantly laid to lawn and dispersed by mature plants and shrubs with a very large kitchen/vegetable area bordered by mature hedging, and a side garden is bursting with a variety of specimen plants and shrubs and in a cottage design with an interesting show of colours throughout the year.
