Extending to approx 1.7 acres, the gardens have been left to grow - very generously! Shrubs and low canopy trees now hide what was a beautifully designed garden with classical features, split levels, lawned areas, orchard and kitchen garden.
This is all redeemable and with some TLC, these gardens would easily be renovated to their former glory, and the extensive south facing views across the valley below would again be enjoyed from the house.
