Six acres of varied gardens. Mature trees, magnolia, wisteria and many unusual flowering shrubs, natural woodland walks and decorative borders. There is also a long terrace leading from the Elizabethan stone summer house to the Edwardian summer house. The garden is developing and changing all the time, and future projects include the restoration of the traditional kitchen garden, and setting a tranquil water feature into the natural lie of the woodland fringe.
