About 48 Asthill Grove

Step into a garden where nature leads the way. Behind a 1936 home, this exceptionally long, mature garden is a haven of flowering shrubs and bushes, allowed to grow freely with minimal pruning. Surrounded by trees and frequented by squirrels, it offers a peaceful, naturalistic charm. The lower half is a productive space with raised beds, a greenhouse, and a variety of fruit trees and bushes, including crab apple, plum, greengage, blackcurrant, gooseberry, and raspberries. A dramatic chapter in the garden’s story unfolded when a century-old sweet chestnut fell in a storm, narrowly missing the artist’s studio—now open to visitors with a display of paintings by Kate Purcell. Don’t miss the small but vibrant front garden, home to a striking Japanese Acacia. A garden full of stories, resilience, and quiet beauty—this is one to prioritise on your visit.
