A lawn to the rear of the house is edged with a raised rose bed and colourful borders, flanked with a seeries of arches smothered with roses and clematis.
A small woodland with a stream and pond attracts wildlife and the ‘White Garden’ includes a white border and hosta collection: a sheltered area of peace and calm.
For those interested in old cars and engineering, some pre-war Austins and a model engineering workshop are on view.

A garden with a wow factor that will make you gasp!
As well as many interesting landscape features, there is clever use of statues, pottery and natural stones.
