4 Set on the site of a former Tudor property, the garden retains a wealth of established plants, some of which have been in situ for many years. The gardens provide a delightful setting with formal landscaping around the house featuring topiary and an abundance of flowering plants to more informal areas on the periphery where the majestic trees are under-planted with spring bulbs. There are many unusual specimen plants and collections of plants including azaleas, roses and dahlias creating dazzling displays. Particular highlights of the gardens and grounds include parterre gardens and a beautiful pleached lime walk. The swimming pool is conveniently set adjacent to the property where French doors giving access to the house ensure this is the ideal space for summer parties. Raised borders around the terrace create good levels of shelter and seclusion. Nestling on the southern boundary are two beautiful ponds with a central island providing a safe place for resident and visiting birds, hence the name Birds Isle. The ponds are adjoined by a bridge and surrounded by naturalistic planting, creating a haven of peace and tranquility and a wonderful retreat from daily life.
