Garden & Grounds
Storthes Hall sits high above its grounds and is surrounded by a variety of beautiful gardens. These exceptional areas have been superbly designed, skilfully planted and lovingly maintained. A tree lined promenade leads to the large east garden which is enclosed by tall mature trees and has level lawns, where if required would be an ideal location for a swimming pool subject to planning permission. There is a newly constructed wooden framed summerhouse with bi-folding doors that has been fitted out for outdoor entertaining or cosy evening inside with a log burner.
The west gardens have an orchard and a lime tree walk within a lawn which sweeps around to the front of the property. In the courtyard there is a stylish boxed garden arranged around an evening sitting area which has a beautifully planted border. The front lawn has a box tree promenade and is bordered by a haha, with outstanding views over the valley. A path winds down through mature woodland to the walled kitchen garden, which is also accessed by a track from the main driveway. The walled kitchen garden extends to around 0.75 acres and is surrounded by a high perimeter wall which creates a more ambient microclimate, ideal for growing fruit, vegetables and more delicate species.
There is a belt of around 45 acres of grazing land sitting in the valley beneath The Mansion. It has been fitted with drainage and is arranged in a series of grazing fields and areas of parkland which are mostly surrounded by mature woodland and a natural spring provides drinking areas.
