Both gardens are in the centre of this pretty village which lies close to the River Stour with Hambledon Hill as a backdrop. The larger garden has some magnificent trees, traditional borders, old brick walls supporting multiple rambling roses and an old fashioned walled kitchen garden mixing vegetables, fruit and flowers. Nearby a cottage garden packed with exotic plants, Bonsai, pond, fruit and herbs and beds of perenials and annuals.
