Doors exits directly from the Conservatory onto an attractive paved patio which overlooks the well maintained gardens towards the canal, and represents an idyllic spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, or for simply appreciating the calibre of the setting. The patio leads on to lovingly tended gardens which comprise areas of shaped lawn, established planting, mature trees, and a Greenhouse with power laid on, all culminating at steps which segue past soft fruit trees to a brook which marks the boundary. The northern boundary immediately abuts the Llangollen Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal, allowing for serene views.
