A Slice of Paradise


 Outside, the dining room step out into your
 quarter-of-an-acre of garden.
 Enjoy evenings spent in good company on
 the terrace by the fountain. Take a turn past
 the raised bed outside the kitchen, filled with
 hundreds of bulbs harbouring snowdrops,
 tulips, daffodils, crocuses and more.

 Step up to the octagonal lawn, surrounded by
 “The garden is just jam-packed with camellias,   walled flowerbeds filled with colourful shrubs
 magnolias, azaleas, rhododendrons and spring bulbs.“  and plants.
 A path leads to end of garden, lined by beds
 teeming with blossoms and blooms season by
 season. Discover the beautiful summer house,
 painted pale green and decorated in clematis vines.
 After a day’s gardening, a glass of wine in the
 summer house is just the ticket. Or, if it’s a bright
 sunny day but a trifle too cold to sit outside,
 simply open the doors and sit in comfort.
 For mindfulness and reflection, follow the mown
 path through the wild area, brimming with
 wildflowers, bulbs and shrubs up to the top
 right-hand corner, where you can sit beneath
 the arbour looking back over this picturesque
 garden and, of course, your House By The Pool.
