The diversity of the garden and its river frontage is wonderful for wildlife,

fishing and boating.”

insight“We neutralised the decor and re carpeted the bedrooms to enhance the character of the house. Every

window has a different picture view, which has made living in

such surroundings throughout the seasonal changes of colour an

absolute delight.”

“The gardens include formal and informal wild areas. The paved terraces that surround the house ensure there

are both sunny and shady places to sit and enjoy the lovely views

throughout the day. The formal lawns give way to areas of open

woodland, where there is an abundance of daffodils and bluebells

in the spring, and the lime avenue is carpeted with snowdrops

in February.”
