The gardens are a particular feature of The Beeches and have been carefully landscaped to provide both beauty and functionality. A neatly manicured lawn offers space for relaxation and recreation, centred around a striking mature Hornbeam tree to the northern side of the property. Well established borders frame the garden with a variety of flowers and shrubs, while terraced levels add depth and interest to the landscape, creating a series of attractive vantage points.
