The Land

The land is divided into a number of distinct areas. There are two large formal gardens. These contain mature specimen shrubs and trees and are sheltered by mature firs and beech trees.

There is an area formerly used as a vegetable plot, and of course there are other areas formerly used for growing plants.

There is an open paddock area of flat pasture. This is divided into two, and is bordered by mature trees. Within it, there is a stand of mature holly trees, formerly used for making wreathes.

Around most of the perimeter, there are Christmas trees. These have been grown commercially and offer a useful crop at a time when the nursery business is typically quiet. There is still a very large number of trees in the ground, of two types, and could be sold whether it is intended to use the land for further commercial use or not.

To the side and front of the actual house, there is a private, enclosed courtyard style garden, and to the rear of the barn is a small woodland glade with trees and wild flowers.

In all, the land extends to some 8 acres. From the land, there are far reaching views of the surrounding countryside.

The location, lying alongside the road, adds to the business potential.
