Salterns Cottage

A glasshouse, a potager, exotic borders and fruit trees are some of the many attractions in this 40 metre x 10 metre plot. Salterns Cottage is a listed building built in 1640 and was bought in 1927 by Noël's grandmother Florence, married to Bram Stoker the author of Dracula. The garden was created by Susan in 2005 when she sold her school.
