Old Manor Farmhouse

A knot garden lies behind the house, enclosed by pleached hornbeams, which form a long vista across the garden. There is a lovely view across the drive, past pollarded London planes, a theatre of box, over a lawn to a Lutyens bench set against a background of clipped hornbeam.  

Salle Park

A parterre lies to the south of the 1763 house, with an avenue of yew cones leading to the walled garden, which retains a row of glasshouses, including a productive vine house. A central walk is planted with colour co-ordinated perennials with, on either side, an astonishing array of organically-grown vegetables, fruit and cut-flowers, triumphantly reminiscent of 19^th century walled gardens.

Elsing Hall

Generous borders separate the terrace outside the rose-covered 15^th century house from the lawn that stretches to the moat. From the Moat Walk there are views across the water to the house.  A walled garden slopes down to the medieval stew pond and the Ginkgo Avenue can be glimpsed through a stone archway.
