Outside An impressive brick walled and pillared entrance with ornate wrought iron double gates opens onto a block-paved driveway, with turning area, garage, garden store and a wide bridge over the River Lud allowing vehicular access into the main garden. A spacious parking area is enclosed by brick walls and pillars with steps down to the garden room and a private breakfast patio adjacent..

A footbridge with ornate wrought iron railings leads across the river from a lawn with stone pillars and evening dining patio by the garden room.

The gardens are exquisite with walks through specimen trees, shrubs, borders with bulbs and drifts of perennial flowering and foliage plants around spacious lawns, all creating a seclusion which belies their town surroundings.

The pathways wind their way to an enclosure with trees and hedges around a raised pond surrounded by lawn. A brick walled archway with climbing plants lends a glimpse through to a water garden with paved surround leading to a charming thatched summer house. Adjacent is another enclosed lawn with trees, a hand-gate into the kitchen garden and a raised seating area.

The kitchen garden is positioned to one side and has borders, soft fruit canes and raised vegetable beds with a lawned surround and gravelled pathways. Even here at the far end of the garden there are views through the trees to the spire of St. James' church. 

NB A number of garden ornaments and planters are of sentimental value to the owner and will not therefore form part of the sale.
