The 'field garden' area has been used to accommodate geese and Indian Runner Ducks, is separated from the driveway by a small double timber gate, plus careful fencing, so that the livestock can be separated and do not interfere with the owners coming and goings. The livestock houses are only 2 years old and well maintained, specifically for geese, ducks and chickens. There are 2 large chicken runs, with access from two sides. The field garden has many varieties of camellias and magnolias, white and pink field cherry trees. Four varieties of Australian eucalyptus, field maples, hollies, willows surround the lake, plus wild roses and Myrtles. The lake has a sizable island.

The expansive vegetable garden was based on a Chinese system of raised beds and are North South facing for maximum growth and have paths running between them. There is gravelled driveway parking for multiple vehicles however if required there is a generous timber built garage sitting in front of the pretty wood behind the property. All in all this property is very special and we therefore thoroughly recommend an internal viewing to appreciate this fine property.
