Description:
This south facing garden began life in 2015 with new owners taking over in 2024. Traditional hedging provides shelter for this established cottage garden, planted with a wide variety of trees, shrubs, perennials, roses and clematis. Snowdrops, daffodils and hellebores are planted in abundance for spring interest. For summer, herbaceous borders and shrubberies frame a lawn. Paths link raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, fruit trees and fruit cage. Steps lead to a small woodland area at the rear of the house which includes hydrangeas, ferns, an enclosed space for the family of chickens, a composting area and a wild area complete with hedgehog house and bug hotel. Recently created steps, a path and waterside deck open access to the Fenwick Water which flows through the south side of the garden where you may be lucky enough to spot the blue flash of the kingfishers as they streak along the water, or see dippers, ducks and heron. The garden remains a work in progress.
