Owners - Helen and Paul Prescott

This is the second time we have opened our garden and it has not changed much since we last did so in 2016, although sadly we lost our large crab apple tree during a gale in the spring of 2017. This does leave rather a gap which will take time to fill. The back garden is roughly a square shape with a large grassed area edged mainly by a selection of shrubs and with a heather bed, a pond and a small bed with box bushes in the middle of the grass. Behind the garage is a bramble area for blackberries and a vegetable plot and there are also fruit trees - apple, pear, plum, damson and fruit bushes - gooseberry, blackberry, redcurrant, autumn raspberry, rhubarb and loganberry. Some years we have hazelnuts too, but the squirrels often get to them first.
