OUTSIDE
The property is approached off the lane through a 5-bar gate on to the gravelled drive and parking area. The gardens of Shiedbrook are a real delight with the Sculpture Garden open for the National Gardens Scheme and Herefordshire art week (H.Art) each year. To the front of the house is a most attractive flagstone terrace where one can enjoy dining or entertaining outside. From here steps lead down on to a lawn with a GARDEN POND alongside and pathways that lead to the orchard which is bordered on two sides by a stream.
To the rear of the property the gardens naturally divide in to 'rooms', linked by a variety of pathways. Beyond the parking area is a level lawn with mature American Oak under planted with spring bulbs. A pathway then winds down through the gardens with lawn to one side and a large well stocked flower bed to the other, creating an abundance of seasonal colour. A rustic style PERGOLA creates the perfect place to fully enjoy the peace and privacy on offer.
Gardens continuing
There is a second vehicle access at this end of the plot. As the path loops back towards the house there is a further 'crazy paved' terrace and the KITCHEN GARDEN with raised planters and soft fruit bushes. Further along the garden is a recently formed 'woodland' style seating area overlooking the adjacent farmland. There is A Hartley GREENHOUSE, large timber SHED/WORKSHOP and a spring water pump. The whole plot amounts to about 1.2 acres.
