A small courtyard garden, on 2 levels, situated to the rear of a C17, black and white thatched cottage. The garden comprises a small lawn and borders of herbaceous and shade loving plants. Paving and gravel areas provide hard standing for pots and seating. The garden also features several contemporary sculptures.

The cottage was extensively renovated in 2022 /23 and the garden newly landscaped.
The current owners have developed the planting which is now shown off by an unusually coloured fence, uniting the house and garden.
Roses and pots add colour to the front of the house and a bench welcomes passers by to stop and chat.
