Description of Garden:
15 acres of grounds, 7 of which are gardens, surround the house. Set above the village and overlooking the estuary and Cardigan Bay, the gardens have a micro climate and can therefore support good examples of exotic and unusual plants. There is a walled garden with greenhouses, housing producing peaches and nectarines. A large mimosa takes up a considerable area one of the houses. Flowers and herbs together with fruit are grown for use in the house's kitchen.


History: 
The garden was laid out at the same time that the house was built in 1909.
