South Lea

In the front a path winds through interesting landscaping with a small pond and unusual planting. Tropical beds by front door with palms, agave, etc. The back garden, with views over the valley, is a pretty picture in May with spring bulbs and clematis, and attractive mixed borders in June. Lawns are separated by a fair sized fish pond and the small woodland area is enchanting in spring. Plenty of seating.
