Outside
The magical partially walled gardens are a fantastic feature offering a fascinating backdrop to this attractive home.

The principal and very secluded garden is fully enclosed and includes a beautiful Victorian brick wall stretching across the end of the garden facing the house. The wall is one side of the walled garden of a large house that once stood near here. The owners of The Slip Garden have invested hours of time and effort and plenty of thought and expenditure over the past seven years introducing and propagating various plants, shrubs and trees to make this fascinating outdoor space. In every direction there is something going on with wild meadows offering a blaze of coloured annual and perennial flowers in amongst lawns. The tall fences are completely hidden by hardy fuchsias, climbing and rambling roses, spring and summer flowering clematis, honeysuckle, jasmine, passionflower and solanum. As well as rhubarb, gooseberries, plums and greengages there are several young fruit trees including olive, apple, pear and cherry. In the southern corner, which is backed by a mature hedge full of native British plants including wild roses, there is a range of raised vegetable planters and two compact, glass, grow houses. The curators of this garden have taken pride in nurturing the space using zero chemicals and have succeeded in creating a vibrant garden containing a rich balance enjoyed by a wealth of insects, red squirrels and a remarkable number of different visiting birds including great spotted and green woodpeckers, goldfinches, greenfinches, long-tailed tits, song and mistle thrushes as well as starlings and jackdaws. Great tits, blue tits, dunnocks, blackbirds and robins nest in the more mature shrubs and trees around the garden.
