The Gardens: The gardens are mostly level and are an extremely attractive feature of this property. The whole plot extends to something around 1/3 acre in total and the cultivated gardens are divided into the more formal gardens with flower beds, shrubs and colourful borders on the western side of the cottage which are overlooked by the property from the Kitchen and Dining room end. These gardens are beautifully laid out and have dense hedge borders for complete privacy. A Summerhouse overlooks the rose garden at this point. Oil fuel tank. The village Brook runs along the southern boundary of the plot and intersects an area of garden on the south and eastern side of the main buildings. The gardens on this side of the property are mostly laid to lawn with pleasant areas for sitting out and with a number of mature trees. Full advantage is taken of the fabulous babbling brook with a timber foot bridge crossing over the water where gunnera grows wild and there are a variety of willow trees and oak on the boundary with the fields beyond.
