GARDENS
Delightful landscaped gardens to front with sculptured lawns, enclosed with mature beds of ornamental and flowering shrubs, under planted with spring flowering bulbs, herbaceous plants, architectural shrubs and ground cover, creating a kaleidoscope of colours and scents. All complimented by hard landscaping adjacent to the property including sunken flagged patio with raised sitting area opened onto by the drawing room and study, and overlooked by a most pleasing waterfall with small pools falling into a large pool at the base of the water fall. A picnic area and table is located at the head of the waterfall on a raised patio. A crazy paved patio, partially enclosed with low wrought iron fencing and well stocked beds, leads to the front doors. The rear gardens are landscaped to create decorative gravel paths intertwining brick pavia and flagged patios with a waterfall gently falling from raised ground to a low level pond. A rustic trellis partially encloses the flagged patio and overlooks a low box hedge, enclosing a weeping Pear tree. Tucked away in one corner, an oval shaped swimming pool (in need of repair) is overlooked by a summer house and loads gently into the upper grounds planted with a fine selection of mature native and European trees. The grounds extend in total to about 8¼ acres, which are accessed from a gravelled lane winding its way along the east side of the grounds, leading to the upper field and to an ancient rath with stunning views over much of Strangford Lough, the Ards Peninsula, the Narrows and much of the Strangford Peninsula. The fields have been planted with a selection of native trees and allowed to go back to nature, which provides a natural habitat for a wide selection of wildlife. For those with equestrian or similar interests there is ample room for grazing and a hard standing to locate stables, sand school etc.
