Low Rough Hill was an upland farm and the only plant it boasted was a honeysuckle before being sold in 2018. Now a traditional cottage garden with borders and shrubs, stone walls, ponds, a small kitchen garden and behind a stone barn a stunning rose garden in a sheltered south facing spot. The current owners took over the mantel in 2023 and the 1½ acre garden goes from strength to strength.
