The gardens of Thorney Cottage epitomises a country cottage. Immediately to the rear is a gravelled area which is perfect for late evening, alfresco dining, the area incorporates the original well and offers a relaxing ambiance overlooking countryside. The gravelled driveway/parking area leads to the grade II listed thatched barn/workshop offering ample storage with raised flooring, power and lighting. The raised floor could be easily removed to facilitate use as a garage.
A beautiful weeping willow tree frames the pathway which in turn leads to a further area of private garden, that has been meticulously planned out incorporating decorative garden borders housing a variety of mature shrubs, trees, plants and herbs. A former stone built “privy” now used as a store shed is also located within this area of the garden along with a summerhouse offering a most pleasant outlook.
