Drake Carr

½ acre cottage garden in beautiful rural setting with natural stream running into wildlife pond with many native species. Surrounding C17 stone cottage, the garden, containing borders, shrubs and vegetable plot, is on several levels divided by grassed areas, slopes and steps. This blends into a boarded walk through bog garden, mature wooded area and stream-side walk into a wildflower meadow.
