One of Mulberry Barn's standout features is it's impressive south-facing private garden, which has been extensively landscaped by the current owners. Enclosed by a low stone wall and established hedging, the garden offers a good degree of privacy. A paved path leads around the rear of the house to a generous terrace, ideal for alfresco dining. Beyond this, a level lawn is framed by mature planting and a mature ash tree, with the path continuing to a modern garden shed. A raised, well-stocked herbaceous border provides an attractive focal point.
