A beautifully-cultivated cottage garden envelops the property, with colourful borders, box hedges terraces and water features creating different garden rooms where you and your guests can relax and enjoy the tranquil setting. To the rear of the property, there is a large lawn which extends down to where the formal gardens end and the fields begin.
