C18 walled garden restored over the last 10 yrs. Gravel paths bordered by herbaceous beds of flowering shrubs and cottage garden flowers; roses, hydrangeas, delphiniums and lavender. Sit for a while among herb borders and planters or stroll further into the original orchard, a 2 acre oasis of calm bordered by the Darent, a precious chalk stream, where children can enjoy a nature-trail.
