Gardens and Grounds
The Magnolias sits centrally in a wonderful plot encased within a natural boundary of established hedging and is approached via a sweeping driveway which wends its way along one side of the fantastically landscaped gardens. To the left is a large orchard boasting a variety of fruit trees and a brick out building. This area could easily be converted into a large paddock for equine facilities. The drive ascends to a large shingled parking area housing a triple garage with room above and separate WC, making it suitable for use as a home office if required. There is also a covered log store at the rear of the garage The gardens are spectacular, beautifully designed and planted to form areas of interest within the grounds. The impressive south facing terrace, perfect for entertaining and capturing the distant views, wraps the main elevations of the house with wonderful vistas over the gardens and countryside. Well stocked herbaceous borders, box hedging and feature trees are set within sweeping lawns and framed by mature Magnolia Trees for year round interest, with a further lower terrace creating a perfect setting for private sitting and overseeing the two pond areas. In all, this former garden, designed and home to the renowned master gardener, Percy Thrower, offers 1.5 acres of beautiful and serene gardens.
Merrington is a small village, surrounded by farmland, and situated close to the larger village of Bomere Heath and lying in the parish of Pimhill. The popular pub, The Red Lion, and the village hall are hosts to many communal events including an annual fete, gardening and history societies.
