About 221 Markfield Road

Shrubs/trees and architectural plants are fringed with perennials and bursts of colour. Slate Brook runs through the bottom of the property and a natural pond has been formed of the brook which is fringed with an abundance of water marginals.

There are two deep fish ponds built into the hard landscaped areas and numerous undercover rooms/areas to sit under and appreciate the south facing garden and views which are flanked by Martinshaw Woods.

3 large greenhouses and 2 growing plots form the productive end of the garden – producing homegrown plants and produce all year round.

Visitors to The Haven never seem to want to go home – they are spoilt not only by the delights of the garden but also by the great hospitality provided with food & refreshments throughout the day to keep them going!
