The house is backed by stands of mature beech, oak and sycamore and there are fine individual examples of mulberry, hazel, weeping birch and sweet chestnut. Whilst the formal areas of lawn are kept at regulation length, there are wilder areas where nature rules.
Since we stand in open countryside, out trees and shrubs provide a haven for wildlife.


Our grounds extend over five acres and include a small spring fed lake, which is well stocked with fish. Some of the carp are well over 20lbs
in weight and can often be seen basking near the surface on warm summer days.

For the more energetic the hills beyond offer some wonderful walking. This aerial view shows the house itself and some of the grounds, with the lake pictured located just off the top right of the aerial photograph.
