To the front of the property there are attractive formal lawned gardens with well-stocked flower borders, walled and hedged sections, mature evergreen trees, a beautiful mature magnolia and a brick paved border to the property itself, which leads around to a delightful pergola style covered walkway overlooking farmland and with views of the Welsh Hills, and leading around the garden building to an additional walled and brick laid seating (truncated)
