The Gardens and Grounds
Covehurst is approached through electrically operated entrance gates and driveway leading to the English Heritage oak-framed open-fronted garaging for two cars with storage area above with light and power connected. There is also ample turning/parking space on the drive for several cars.
The front gardens are bounded by hedges and are principally laid to lawn.
The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped with a generous stone paved and gravelled terrace and sitting out area, partly shaded with a timber pergola with climbing plants, together with an ornamental fish pond.
Beyond are areas of lawn with herbaceous borders, selection of trees and shrubs, and a wisteria-clad summer house. Beech hedges separate the formal garden from the more informal area which includes a netted kitchen garden, fruit cage and greenhouse.
There is an area of orchard with plum, apple, pear and quince trees, and countryside views. In addition, there are four timber garden sheds and a log store. The summer house and some of the sheds have electricity connected.
In all about 0.8 of an acre.
