Gardens and Grounds
Lowcross Mill House is approached through a walled and brick pillared gated entrance onto an L-shaped driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, and in turn leads to a detached double garage with remote control roller shutter door. Worthy of particular mention are the attractive mature and generous gardens which are beautifully landscaped including large areas of rolling well-kept lawn, fringed with raised well-stocked borders containing an abundance of ornamental shrubbery and flowering plants. The formal gardens enjoy a most idyllic backdrop of a winding brook fringed with established deciduous trees creating a private and beautiful outdoor space.
