Garden and Grounds

Admire the purple hues of the Wisteria that climbs the white rendered walls.

Hedges to the front provide privacy and seclusion to the house and garden. To the rear of the home isa small walled courtyard ideal for hanging out the washing. From here you can take steps up to the lawn of the driveway, or down into the main garden, ensuring easy access around the whole site.

Guests, of the annexes', and the new owners of Aikrigg End, will be spoilt for choice with what adventures they will take on.
