THE GARDENS
These form an exquisite feature of Brook Cottage, offering complete privacy and with a terrace bordering the rear of the house, manicured lawns and a wonderful variety of mature trees and shrubs. On the eastern boundary is a small stream with a walkway and seating running alongside it.
The previous owner was an award-winning plantsman with expert knowledge of propagation, who had two plants named after him for his work cultivating new varieties. The garden is carefully structured and aesthetically balanced, with well-stocked borders complemented by lawns and a stream.
In all about 0.9 of an acre.
