The gardens are a delight. The walled ‘top garden’ to the East is beautifully designed and formal. Here, there is a small open fronted south facing garden. Framed by 13thC St Bridget’s church on one side and Chelvey Court’s entrance facade on the other, there are level lawns, an intricate design of topiary box and yew, other taller topiary, a water feature, and a personal pathway leading to the church. A secluded ‘sunken’ garden on this east side is accessed by three doors opening out from the ground floor.
The gardens to the West have boxed Yew hedges demarcating neighbouring Chelvey Old Hall from Chelvey Court. There are expanses of lawn with mown pathways through a mixed orchard of Apple, Pear, Plum, Quince, Medlar and Walnut – leading to a kitchen garden with raised beds and greenhouse.
Each of the gardens are surrounded by rubble stone walls, well-maintained and recently re-pointed.
Around the house are outbuildings including two charming stone pyramid roofed buildings, an open sided summer house, a tunnel, boxed yew hedges and mature trees including an ancient Yew, two majestic Robinia (False Acacia), Beech and Oak. Pathing is Breedon Gravel edged with granite setts.
