Laid predominantly to lawn, the orchard is planted with a variety of mature fruit trees, offering both seasonal blossom and homegrown produce. The area enjoys a high degree of privacy, enclosed by mature hedging and established trees which create a natural backdrop and enhance the sense of seclusion.
