My front s/e facing traditional garden is boundered by a 1.5 metre high beech hedge,a few trees,two small lawns, and perennials border. A curved wall, with climbers, together with a wrought iron gate forms a divider with rear garden. Within the rear is a decked area with a rockery on one side, water feature and perennials on the other. A sizable lawn, containing a boatshaped raised perenniel bed, extends to the garage with a 4.5 metre high Beech hedge along one side and a yellow privet with greenhouse on the other. Garden lighting completes the atmosphere for a relaxing meal in a still evening.
