Well stocked, private and compartmentalised, they provide a diversity of colour throughout the growing season with the formal areas complimented by a partially walled vegetable area, Victorian style Greenhouse as well as a large Conservatory which abuts the main house and annexe. Gently sloping lawned areas lie to the south of the house and run down to a haha. To the north and approached via stone steps which rise from the entrance drive is an orchard.

THE LAND

In more recent years, part of the land has been planted to a variety of native broad leafed species and these are now semi mature and provide additional amenity and conservation appeal. In total, the property extends to about 15.48 acres, as edged red on the identification plan.
