Tulip Tree

Two acres of paddock with mown paths behind house and 1acre of garden around house dominated by 120 yr old Liriodendron tulipifera, which originates from N America, and the Northofagus trees from S America. Both are unusual plantings for a farmhouse in Dorset. The garden is divided into separate areas by mature hedges and old stone walls. The patio and rose garden are recent additions.
