The grounds are bursting with life and colour, featuring mature flowering shrubs, a variety of fruit trees (including espalier pear), and a productive selection of soft fruit bushes: blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry, and gooseberry. A magnificent magnolia, two fig trees, and a wide array of mature species — such as Larch, Sitka and Norway Spruce, Oak, Ash, Beech, Copper Beech, Alder, and Willow — offer privacy, beauty, and biodiversity throughout the year. A peaceful woodland area, dominated by a towering Canadian Maple, offers endless adventure for children and a retreat for wildlife. There’s also a tranquil pond, a productive vegetable patch, and thoughtfully designed planting schemes that enhance both sustainability and serenity.
