Description: Lovely rural setting for ¾-acre garden surrounding C16 farmhouse (not open) with views of S Downs. Pretty in spring with primroses and hellebores. Mainly herbaceous with rainbow border, small pond with dribbling frogs and Cornish-inspired beach corners. Restored to former glory, as shown in old photographs, but with a few quirky twists. Recent projects incl a grass corner, poison garden and a secret jungle garden
Relax and listen to live jazz in the garden in August
