Pathways bisect throughout the garden providing any number of different walks and hidden areas, creating a garden which is truly rich in colour and interest. At the top of the garden is an enclosed grassy area, with a timber summer house idyllically positioned to make the most of the view and privacy. Adjacent to the garden is approximately 6 acres of land, ideal for those with equestrian and small holding interests which is available by separate negotiation by the neighbouring farm.

GROUNDS The property is approached via a private return drive, with double garage, workshop and general store rooms to the bottom allowing the properties elevated position to take in the far reaching aspect across to the coast. The grounds are an exceptional feature of the property, being carefully laid out under the enthusiastic and knowledgeable eye of a former owner which saw the gardens place in several local competitions. The focus has been on creating a park style garden with lawns flanked by borders filled with mature perennials and trees including evergreens, rhododendrons, banks of hydrangeas and azaleas. A wildlife pond stands to the far side and a number of pathways have been cut throughout the garden to create a variety of different walks through both the formal gardens and amongst the woodlands which runs down to Lady Edith s Drive. To the southern edge of the grounds, positioned well out of sight of the house on an elevated plateau stands a large timber built summer house with a decked terrace to the front. The summer house has electric light, integrated fridge and power and a superb outlook to Jacobs Mount and across the town to the coast beyond.
