Striped lawn curves around maturely planted borders, where shrubbery and spring bulbs mingle.

A haven for wildlife, the garden is a nature lovers' paradise, with a paddock area of 0.47 acres brimming with fruit trees including cherry, apple and plum, alongside a wood/machinery store and a copse of around 40 trees, carpeted in daffodils and bluebells in spring, making way for cow parsley and other wild flowers later in summer.
