Garden

This 59'/17.98m garden has a very long west facing boundary wall and because the ground drops away a little behind the wall there are the most magnificent views across the Teign Valley to the high moor which gives the garden plenty of sunshine, especially in the summertime. The garden is laid just to grass at present but there is ample space for a vegetable and fruit garden if desired.
