Gardens

The beautiful mature gardens and grounds at Hillwood Cottage extend to approximately 1.5 acres in all. A private road leads to the approach of the property where there is a large gravelled parking area at the front of the house. There is also a second driveway leading up to the double carport. The gardens sweep and enclose the property fully and with the benefit of high stone walls and mature trees surrounding it offers fully a complete seclusion and privacy on all sides. The gardens itself are well landscaped with lawns, borders, established plants and raspberry and blackberry bushes. There is also an existing greenhouse. Over the carport sits a large studio with sizeable balcony overlooking the garden ripe for conversion into perhaps a home office or further guest accommodation if so desired.
