OUTSIDE
Lynch House is approached through electric gates down a private driveway flanked by mature trees that sweeps to reveal the beautiful façade and continues to a courtyard behind the main house.

The front garden is south facing and is mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders, well stocked flower beds, a water Lily pond and fine mature trees. There is a beautiful, partly walled rose garden to the west that leads to the walled kitchen garden with an orchard, various raised beds with three greenhouses and a workshop. There are paved paths through that lead to a wildflower area and a pétanque pitch.

The outbuildings in the courtyard include a double garage
with sliding doors, a small room to keep garden furniture and a large barn for garden equipment with exposed timbers and a mezzanine floor. The barn has the potential to be converted into a games or entertaining area, subject to the correct planning permissions.
