A small plot of inter-connected gardens philosophically based on Ancient Chinese pleasure gardens but with English naturalistic style of planting and artefacts. Part covered by mature ash trees and part open with Mediterranean planting and pond. An enclosed patio rose garden and terrace completes the garden. Set on the edge of a fenland village with an RSPB reserve opposite for a pleasant walk - or maybe croquet on the lawn.
