About Raiswells House

A spacious half acre garden surrounded by fields and a woodland backdrop, designed to give a peaceful, calm, relaxing aura, with a theme throughout of green and white.
The large borders are full of architectural foliage, trees, ferns, giant acanthus plants and a rose arch.
Within the garden you will find a formal topiary courtyard, a Koi pond and a children’s play area. There are five seating areas, all with dawn to dusk lighting, to enjoy different views of the garden by day or night: one with a stone-built fireplace for cosy evening entertaining. The summer house can offer shade from the sunshine or shelter from the showers, all year round.
Many large planters full of different species of hydrangeas, olive trees, palms and white summer bedding plants adorn the garden.
Grand lawns provide the opportunity to play garden games and there is also a vegetable allotment.
