An elevated section of the garden is well manicured and is used as an attractive seating area being able to receive the sun throughout much of the day. There is an ornamental pond. The plot then expands up to larger area where there are a selection of specimen trees, along with the area where the solar array is found. The productive area includes a hop garden and is suitable for growing fine produce with a selection of fruit trees including cider apple, bramley cooking apples, crab apple, pear, plum and cherry. There is also a wide selection of soft fruits such as raspberry, blackcurrant and blueberry. From the top of this area there is a pleasant aspect looking back over the property towards the village and the historic church.
At the top of the garden there is a storage building and a lovely view over the surrounding landscape. Other outbuildings include a workshop with power and light and an adjacent further store. The grounds then open up to a large gently sloping paddock which is naturally bordered and has a large vineyard area which is surrounded by selection of large trees. One of the key features of this enclosure is the established vines of which there are around 360 in number! The whole setting is sheltered, tranquil and a rich haven for much wildlife.
