At the front, adjacent to the driveway is a light wooded area which has many meandering paths and small trees, it spans the riverbank which is a perfect habitat for much wildlife. The formal garden at the front is well manicured and lawned enjoying a favourable aspect. At the side, the patio is often used for outside dining and entertaining during the warmer months. Beyond is the hexagonal summerhouse.

The rear garden is terraced and again well planted with many shrubs and bushes such as rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and cherry blossom to name but a few. The whole peace and tranquillity of the property’s location, is enhanced by the birdsong and sound of the river.

The following is a quotation from the home owner:

A year at Lynher House.

Spring
The garden here is at its best. Wildlife abounds, including deer, water voles, otters, kingfishers and dippers can be seen.

Summer
Bustling village life. Summer fair in Parson's Meadow with charity duck race on the Lynher. Long dog walks along the many public footpaths, Stara woods a favourite only minutes from the door.

Autumn
Lovely colours as the trees turn. The bonfire and famous Rilla Mill firework display happen in November.

Winter
Cosy nights at home by the fire, or in the local pub. Good food to eat in or take away. The renowned panto in the village hall at Christmas time .. new actors/crew are always welcome!!
