REAR AND SIDE GARDENS:
The sun-drenched and secluded south-west facing rear garden is a haven of tranquillity with the feeling of being hidden away in the countryside. French doors open out from the sitting room to a pebble sunken patio with barbecue area. A manicured lawn is bordered by curved pebble pathways and flowerbeds which were planted by the owner for biodiversity to attract birds, bees and butterflies. The garden is well stocked with many herbaceous flowering plants, shrubs and a stunning array of old roses, many which were planted by the previous generation of the current owner's family, who took great pride in the building's heritage. A neat hedge runs along the boundary line with the neighbouring property and the old Abbey to the rear, which is a 13th century listed National Monument and creates a highly unique and spectacular backdrop. An archway leads through to the side rose filled courtyard.
