Bordering the square lawned area are tree lined paths with productive fruit trees including rich Victoria plum, varieties of apple, and pear. To one side of the garden is a wide border and accommodates a large strawberry patch, during the summer months lends itself to a stunning display of poppies. Directly behind the property is a wide paved terrace offering a sunny aspect from where to sit and admire the garden. At night the property and gardens are enhanced by the external lighting.
