The current owners have made the gardens truly beautiful. There are a variety of separate spaces for alfresco dining, sun loungers, and a beautiful water feature that not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes to the tranquil and soothing atmosphere. Towards the rear of the garden and part of the 1.3 acres of land is an additional gated woodland, which is considered to be the second garden. Surrounded by trees and woodlands, this area is private, secluded and includes a firepit and log seating.
