The house stands in three acres of  secluded gardens that were originally laid out by Priscilla Lady Bacon.

They are stocked with many unusual bulbs, shrubs and trees  and the garden is beautiful in each of the different seasons. There are well planted borders and spacious lawns, and an established area of vegetables and fruit trees, as well as  wilder areas.

Many birds and insects are attracted by the diversity of plants and trees and the sense of peace is tangible.
