Gardens and Grounds
From Camden Road, a wrought iron gate opens on to the front garden, with steps up and around several deep flowerbeds filled with mature planting to the paved terrace at the top. A pretty pink Magnolia tree provides some shade for al fresco dining. It's a private space with walls and planting on both sides and stunning views across the valley to the hills.

The rear west-facing garden, which has been newly re-designed and landscaped, is accessed from the first half landing via a glazed door to the new millboard decking that forms the first level of the walled terrace garden. Steps up one side lead to two further terraces, enclosed with new iron railings, a rose arch, and plenty of attractive plantings such as jasmine, lavender and climbing roses. The main seating terrace at the top is a quiet and secluded spot, bathed in sunshine for much of the day.
