This flows through the main garden which is predominantly laid to lawn with a vibrant array of shrubs and plants along the borders. The large fish pond is a lovely feature to this garden with the steady trickle of water providing additional peace and tranquility. There are three very useful outbuildings; all of which have power and light connected.
