Flower in Garden

The two-acre formal gardens are laid out to lawns and flowerbeds; there is a large variety of interesting plants including many species of clematis and rose. This landscaped area exists on several levels and features three ponds stocked with many aquatic plants; there are plans to extend the formal garden to incorporate a fourth pond with a small island at its centre.


The garden is bordered by a meandering stream and overlooked by a thickly wooded slope; there is circular walk around this wood from which one can catch glimpses of the house and grounds. In addition, a public footpath runs through the property and allows access out of the valley into the surrounding countryside.


Leading on from the formal area are eighty acres of pastureland and a large well stocked fishing lake.
