The gardens of Dell House wrap around the property and are an absolute delight. The beautiful rear garden is set in a dell, landscaped with tiered, planted banks and woodland on the boundaries providing a secluded and private setting. The garden enjoys a large area of lawn with flower beds, meandering pathways and steps leading to elevated seating spots to take full advantage of the views. To the side is a wonderful vintage greenhouse and a lovely terrace area adjoins the house giving an ideal place to enjoy the garden.
In addition is an adjacent plot of land of about an acre, accessed from the front garden, with superb elevated rural distant view. The land is set over two levels with an area of woodland to the side. There is a vegetable/fruit cage and a variety of mature fruit trees including apple, pear, damson and greengage. On the top level, which was originally a grass tennis court, is a charming pavilion/summer house. Dell House is approached from a country lane on to a gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles and leads to a large garage, with both a wood store and workshop area.
