Gardens and Grounds

A particular feature of Tulip Cottage is the beautifully landscaped formal garden which takes full advantage of the perfect village setting, with areas for relaxing, indoor/outdoor entertaining and just sitting to enjoy the view. There is a delightfully secluded, full width raised terrace which continues to the lawned area with its meandering block-paved pathway, mature trees and shrub borders. A gate then opens to the rear of the garden, with large area of coloured stone chippings and raised suntrap patio, trees and well-stocked planters.

Gardens and Grounds (cont'd)

Electrically operated gates open onto the parking and formal garden area, with separate electric gates and pedestrian gates opening to the paddock area and stable yard with hardstanding and ample space for several vehicles including horsebox/trailer, with water and drainage.
The two paddocks combined extend to around half an acre with post and rail fencing, and the boundary is of post and rail and chicken-wire, making it safe for animals and essentially ‘dog proof’. It also has the facility for electrification.
The adjacent footpath belongs to Tulip Cottage and is separated from the paddock by mature hedgerow, post and rail, stock fencing and chicken wire.
