GARDENS & GROUNDS
Last House stands at the end of Manor Close (private close with no turning) behind a stone and brick wall boundary in a truly wonderful Conservation village setting accessed via double timber gates opening onto a substantial gravel driveway with turning space providing off road parking for multiple vehicles. There are flowerbeds with plants and shrubs and a separate brick built bike/garden store with an adjoining WC.
At the end of the driveway, there is a gate leading to a hardstanding store area which leads to large double timber gates opening to a separate, magnificent orchard garden extending to circa 0.88 of an acre, available to purchase by separate negotiation.
The landscaped gardens and orchard garden were designed in conjunction with Chelsea double gold medal winning garden designer, Sue Hayward. The gardens extend to both sides of the property mainly laid to lawn with four brick built raised beds and vegetable garden with central pergola. There are extensive gravel paths leading round to the rear garden where there is an initial lower level patio with 3.5m wide steps leading up to a delightful, 9.6m x 3.5m, slate terrace directly off the open plan living/dining/kitchen with glass balustrade enjoying elevated, south facing rear views of the garden and countryside beyond.
Returning to the lower level patio, a decked bridge passes over the undercroft entrance below leading to a second gravel patio area with access to the other side of the house laid to lawn with double gates providing access to the front. There is a substantial laurel boundary to the west and an original stone walled boundary to the east, a section of which was repaired and repointed by our clients.
There are extensive, landscaped gardens enjoying a truly wonderful setting bordering to open countryside adjacent to Teversal Manor gardens and grounds. There are three main substantial tiered sections with three sets of brick and slate steps, gently slope down towards the end of the garden where there is a low walled boundary. There are well maintained lawns and ample brick built raised beds with plants and shrubs and silver birch trees.
