GARDENS & GROUNDS The gardens have been very well designed throughout with care and attention that has been lavished upon them and provide wonderful colour and splendour. The interestingly and well stocked borders contrast well with the different areas of the gardens. The flowering herbaceous borders have been planted with a mass of ground under planting of spring bulbs. The gardens are a balance of the formal with individual corners contrasting well with the wide expanses of lawns, edged with wild flower meadow planting. Numerous doors from the main house lead directly out to the terrace and formal lawned area. Beyond the fountain and across the sweeping
lawns is a Ha-Ha, which seamlessly divides the gardens and the land. The paved Fountain Area sits grandly in front of the house, with an attractively planted avenue of hornbeam trees. Commanding views of the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from almost every aspect of the garden. The borders surrounding the terrace have been generously planted with a wide variety of mature bushes, roses, lavender and plants to provide intense colour and scent throughout the year, including topiary shaped yew and a magnificent Magnolia tree.
