A Japanese inspired garden has been created here under the trees in the corner of the brick walls. A feature of this are the eight Japanese maples of varying size and colour together with non invasive bamboos, ferns, grasses and moss. A round stone patio is adjacent to a second border featuring a continually flowing large sandstone water ball surrounded by cobbles and specimen plants including a further Japanese maple.

There is also a small kitchen garden, adjacent to a shed and cold frame plus a plum tree, raspberry canes and various soft fruits. There is an outside socket and outside wall lights. From the garden there are stunning views over the village Church.
