The gardens have been thoughtfully created by the present owners to maximise the glorious setting and enjoy entertaining and relaxing. There are a number of seating areas perfect for enjoying a coffee, glass of wine and al fresco dining. A wooden summer house/bar adjoins a large paved area with ample space for table, chairs and garden furniture. The garden and grounds are a haven for wildlife and include an orchard as well as lawns, specimen trees, planted beds and hedgerows.
