An undoubted feature of the house is the wonderful back garden which extends to approximately 150 foot in depth and is creatively divided into different areas. There is a large paved sun terrace which opens onto a formal lawn framed with wild and planted flower beds and a brick path leading to a natural fishpond. A paved path runs in a horseshoe around the rest of the garden where you will find an abundance of soft fruit and vegetable beds as well as a Japanese garden, various exotic trees, shrubs and areas left over to wildlife along with a greenhouse.
The privacy of the garden and its tranquility and quietness can only be appreciated by spending a few minutes wandering around.
