EXTENSIVE WALLED GARDENS AND GARDEN COURTYARD

The sheltered garden setting is without question a particular feature of the sale of Grey Friars and, in our opinion, something rather

special. Immediately to the rear of the property, there is a flagstone courtyard leading to the period outbuildings – general stores

comprising a formal coal house and general store with a dovecote loft above, complemented by further useful store places.

The garden entrance hall leads to a walled courtyard pathway with border edges leading through to the main formal lawned garden.

The upper formal garden area features a large level lawn with a timber summerhouse offering a tranquil vantage point to enjoy this

sheltered and private garden. A long deep herbaceous border bounded by mature yew hedging offers colour and interest to this

rather special garden either side of which pathways extend to the outer gardens and kitchen garden.

There is a large cultivated kitchen garden and soft fruit garden having perimeter lawns and deep stocked flowerbeds and borders

including a traditional rose garden and herbaceous beds; offering a sense of a step back in time to what is a gem of an old English

country garden in the town.

There are a number of productive fruit trees, of both eating and cooking apple varieties including a traditional Bramley, a pear tree,

a fine old walnut tree and a number of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs.

To the front of the property there is a low brick frontage wall with wrought iron balustrading and to the side, a small topiary garden

with a hand gate giving access to the rear garden.

Agents Note

This enchanting garden has been featured locally as one of the ‘Hidden Gardens of Easthorpe’.

Structural Inspection

A structural inspection of the property was undertaken in the spring of 2012 by Ernest Marshall BA,M.Sc., Chartered Engineer C.Eng,

M.I.C.E. concluding that the property has been affected by settlement in the past and was considered to be of a longstanding and

non-progressive nature. For general information purposes, a copy of this report is available on request. Interested parties are
