The garden
The entrance to the property has a new timber gate with brick and stone pillars. There is a block paving driveway which continues around the house to provide a patio and extensive parking facilities.
The property is set in just over an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens surrounded by open countryside. The borders have been covered with weed suppressant membrane and local stone chippings that reduce maintenance and provide a splendid backdrop to the many plants, shrubs and trees.
A mains powered decorative lamp is positioned in the border on either side of the driveway.
There are both timber and brick planters to provide interest and colour. The house and garage were painted in contemporary colours in 2008.
All of the borders have been planted with a wide variety of low maintenance shrubs and in the years to come will develop into a magnificent display
The back garden features raised planting areas along the edge of the patio.
This is a row of silver birch trees. All of the borders are covered with weed suppressant membrane and locally sourced stone chippings to minimise maintenance.
The borders are planted with a wide variety of shrubs to provide all year round colour.
New for 2010 are 9 square meters of raised vegetable beds. These provide a variety of vegetables, fruit and salad crops that can be culitivated without bending and harvested without even having to put your shoes on.
