Our Gardens
The Old Vicarage is set in tranquil, landscaped gardens which extend to nearly one acre and provide the ideal environment for relaxation, socialising and wildlife spotting.
Accessible to All
The garden has been designed to provide level access from both floors and residents are able to walk around the grounds without negotiating any steps. The garden has a number of open and sheltered spots in which to sit and enjoy the garden and glorious views of the surrounding countryside with family and friends. Garden furniture provides a variety of resting places. In the summer there are parasols to enjoy a relaxing afternoon out of the full sun, and a few raised beds help green fingered residents to participate in gardening activities.

“Lovely garden and vegetable garden provides most of our vegetables. In the summer we are encouraged to be outside by having chairs and tables ready outside and willing staff to bring out tea and coffee when asked.” Resident review Flora and Fauna
The many specimens of trees, shrubs and flowers complement the property and provide surroundings which contribute towards a truly relaxing, peaceful and yet active retirement.
Our committed gardeners work hard to provide all year round colour and variety, with favourites such as David Austin roses, dahlias and sweet peas as well as some more unusual varieties such as a rare Cladrastis tree collected from China, and one of the oldest yew trees in the country.
