Gardens and grounds

Beside the drive are lawns and rhododendrons, copper beech and shrub

and pyracantha.

To the south side of the house, beyond the paved terrace, are steps down
to a lawn with a ha-ha at the end and a breeze house with a hot tub. To one

garden drops to a dell with mature specimen trees. To the west side, there
is additional parking and garages. Beyond the ha-ha is the parkland and
woodland, with two lakes and mature parkland trees, principally oak.

Grimshaw Hall is in a beautifully mature setting, on the edge of the soughtafter village of Ullenhall, with south-facing views over ancient parkland with fine mature oak trees, formerly the park to Lady Luscombe's Barrells Hall. The house is secluded from the road with a tree screen to the road frontage. Tall wrought iron electric gates on brick piers with orb finials lead to the box hedge-lined tarmac drive to a brick wall with inner wrought iron gates to the parking area in front of the property with an arch to further parking and garages.
