Description:Lovely rural setting for 1-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 such as a poison garden and a secret jungle garden. Newest project is the restoration of a large wildlife pond in the field
Relax and listen to live jazz in the garden in August
