Description:
A glorious combination of skilled craftsmanship and a creative’s eye for planting, this informal and secluded cottage garden is nestled within 10 acres of woodland. Approached down an avenue of crab apples, it features a romantic walled garden in front of the rose-covered, former miller's cottage, where perennials tussle with pretty annuals and biennials. The old mill lade runs into a semi-wild pond with a turf bridge by the front lawn and behind the cottage lies a very productive vegetable garden with a wooden greenhouse, poly-tunnel and raised beds. Willow gates and planters, cobbled paving and an outdoor shower are just a few illustrations of the skill and creativity of the owners. Enjoy a cream tea in the charming old farm courtyard and studio where Linda’s art and crafts, her husband’s metalwork garden structures, and Jenny Ozwell's pottery will be available for sale.
Directions: 400m from Chesters village on the A6088 heading towards Newcastle. Some disabled parking 200m from the house.
