Garden


Externally approached down a private driveway to a turning circle which has ample parking for a number of vehicles and a detached 3 garage. There is an attached barn which is perfect for storage and could have further development potential, subject to planning consents.

The gardens extends to 8 acres and have been developed in two phases: the first was from 1992 to 2005; the second from 2006 to the present time. The age of trees reflects this: there are mature Ash, Sycamore, Beech and Hawthorn that date back to when Deer Rudding was a farm. Then from 1992 a large number of Silver Birch, Larch, Sorbus, Oak and Alder were planted on the western and northern boundaries, these provide shelter. From 2006 more trees were added, including Bird Cherry, Amelanchier, Birch, Red Oak, Metasequoia, Sequoia Giganteum, Acer and Golden Alder. The outer areas support wildlife: areas of meadow grass provide cover for small mammals; wood heaps encourage insects.

There is a ruined farmhouse,...
