A walled, landscaped sanctuary, the grounds include level lawns, an orchard, and an abundance of mature trees, flowering shrubs, and colourful borders. A charming gazebo offers a peaceful retreat with views back towards the house, while a cobbled courtyard and array of outbuildings, including a former coach house, provide excellent storage and workshop space.
