At the forefront of the property from the driveway is a raised, well-kept lawn enveloped with a variety of trees to the rear and borders to the front and sides filled with foxgloves, evergreens and perennials. Embrace the countryside on the shaded patio under the trees listening to sheep in the nearby field whilst admiring the abundance of wildlife that visit the garden.

Cross the lawn, towards the front door and a large paved terrace has plenty of room for seating. In the summer months entertain with ease through the double doors leading into the dining room. Follow the terrace round and descend the stairs onto a paved walled patio, not before enjoying the stunning views over to Barbon Fell.
