Contemporary 4.7 acre country garden designed by Chelsea Gold Medal winner, Arabella Lennox-Boyd, in keeping with its rural setting. A strong underlying design unites the different areas from formal parterre and courtyard garden to orchard, wildflower meadows and woodland. Romantically planted rose covered arbours and long clematis draped pergola walk. Nuttery, greenhouse and greenhouse garden.

Apart from the four formal gardens, in the parterre/greenhouse garden there is a heated greenhouse, with a good selection of pelargoniums (some on sale). In addition there is a walk through woodland to the Beauty Spot (as it has always been called), which is a 3 acre water meadow. Overlooking it is a large rhododendron bank skirted by the River Font.
.
Delightful views. Robert Iley, the garden builder, and Steve Grimwood, the gardener, present.
