The Gardens 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. |
