The garden wraps around three sides of the house, divided by old stone walls and hedges of box, hornbeam, holly and yew.  Flowers spilling out of pots and planters and roses and clematis cascading from arches contrast with the clipped architecture of the hedges and lime trees trained as lollipops.  A new garden, shared with the chickens,  is being created behind the modern barns.  Trees and flowering shrubs grow beside mown paths through the long grass of the wild flower meadow where we are trying to encourage as many wild flowers as possible.  There is a mound from which to survey the local hills.

The house and garden has featured in various publications:-
