The house (c.1830) overlooks the Tea Garden with coffee shop. Designed and planted by the present owners, it is a peaceful, harmonious series of gardens for plants, people and wildlife with naturalistic planting throughout. Hidden paths lead into diverse gardens with successional plants for all-year-round colour; it also provides most of the propagation material for the well- stocked nursery of unusual hardy plants.
