Well planted front garden leads to a side entrance into a deceptively large rear garden. Beautiful planted deep borders surround a lawn, leading to a pond and beyond to a vegetable garden and shrubbery. Planted in drifts that gain maximum impact with blocks of colour. Mixed herbaceous planting with a delightful grass border. Mature trees and shrubs provide year-round interest.

Wildlife friendly planting with a bug hotel and log roll walls. Greenhouse, raised vegetable and container grown vegetables add other points of interest. The garden is mostly flat with slight changes in heights and materials used for paths. Three quarters of the garden is accessible. Unlike most of Seaford the garden is clay rather than chalk.
