The Gardens

The Ha-ha wall was collapsing in most sections and had to be rebuilt. The stone all came from the grounds and the wall as built to match the existing sloping wall to the far right. The work was completed in spring 2026

Footpaths and planting has been restored and the whole areas has been cleared of brambles and saplings. New planting includes many shade lovers, such as acers, hostas and foxgloves

The orchard like many areas was in need to bring back into productive use. Apple, Quince, Damsons, Plums and Cherries have been tended to bring them back into production. The grass is left to meadow during the spring summer months

The Front Garden has been undergoing major restoration, these images show some of the progress made

The original kitchen garden is long gone, however images from the 1970's show how productive the garden was. Many areas are being restored to a more manageable kitchen garden.

The Formal Garden is currently being restored and replanted. There was 20 foot leylandii hedge running the full length of the garden which has now been removed and replanted with a more sympathetic beech hedge.
