With two adjoining level lawns flanked by mature beds, established hedges and pleached trees with beautiful mature borders planted with seasonal cutting flowers, herbs and shrubs it provides year round fun and enjoyment. To the side is an attractive vegetable garden with three beds divided by lavender parterre borders interspersed with gravel pathways and the fourth housing a heated greenhouse.
