Outside - STEP OUTSIDE

From the gated entrance, as the long drive curves through the garden and grounds the first view of the house can't fail to impress. Wonderful as the house is, it is set off by the truly beautiful parkland gardens. Laid extensively to well manicured lawns with many specimen trees there is always somewhere to stand or sit, to enjoy sun or shade, and not forgetting the magnificent views of the Severn.

There are attractive stone walls throughout including a fine WALLED GARDEN of about an acre. Here, there is a large parterre, a small orchard and pleasant outlook to the adjacent ancient Parish Church. Protecting the property to the north west is a large area of mature woodland.
