Outside To the side, a driveway provides off-road parking and access to a timber shed with power and lighting.
The gardens lie to the rear of the house and are a particular feature of the property. Arranged in a series of well-designed tiered areas, they include a private, sheltered paved courtyard seating area, lawns, mature trees and shrubs, a variety of fruit trees and well-stocked flower beds. Raised vegetable beds sit beyond, with a pathway leading to a more natural, lightly wooded section of the garden with views of the field and trees beyond. The boundaries are formed by natural hedging and fencing, creating a strong sense of privacy.
The garden has been designed with nature and wildlife in mind. There is a large pond, teeming with life, and the garden is frequently visited by a wide variety of wildlife, including hedgehogs and many different birds.
There are lovely views from the garden across Bruton, especially at the far end, which is the ideal spot for the arched rose and clematis-covered seating area. The owners have also added a sheltered steel pergola on the bottom tier, perfect for alfresco dining.
