In addition, there are paved areas and lawned areas interspersed between the different growing areas which then leads to a large, decked area which is covered by a roll-out awning to provide protection from inclement weather. There are a variety of sheds: a woodshed, a coal shed and a shed, which is listed, which collects water to be used in the garden and the large greenhouse. The LPG tank is housed in a corner and there is a pond, and a small well, perfect for attracting a haven of wildlife. The buddleia brings its own beauty as the home of many butterflies and the hen runs add another exciting dimension to this lovely smallholding. The foot of the garden extends through a variety of hedges and opens into another almost separate plot which contains a summerhouse with its own decked area to the front. This has been organised to include a bed which makes it the most wonderful hidden space in which to relax.
