The Walled Garden is a detached, former coach house, located in the hamlet of Hentland.

One of the principal features of the property is a walled garden, where you are led to believe you are in the Mediterranean rather than England.

The house offers wonderfully light, south facing accommodation and has a reception/dining hall, a drawing room with two former coach archways and an impressive stone fireplace housing a cast-iron woodburning stove. The library/study has fitted wooden bookshelves and the kitchen/breakfast room has an oil-fired Aga.

The stairs lead up from the dining hall to the master bedroom with an en-suite, two further bedrooms and the family bathroom/WC.

The property is approached via double wrought iron gates opening through to a large gravelled courtyard leading to a double garage. The walled garden is flanked on all four sides by high, sandstone walling with a central circular water feature and large Cretan urn. There are frescos of urns, flowers, rural scenes and Grecian-style colonnades, a barbecue area and a raised eating area with climbing vines. Access to the walled garden is via a stable door directly from the house, while a further door in the northern wall leads to the north lawn, and two vegetable sections with a variety of apple trees. The lawn is flanked by neatly trimmed hedging and a stone archway, which takes you back into the main courtyard.

In all, this is a fascinating property which needs to be inspected to be fully appreciated.
