Returning for 2025, Sundew sits in a plot of approximately one-third of an acre. Since 2016 planting and new borders have added to a well-stocked garden. Thus informal with a capital ‘I’ would be the best way to describe it. The plan is there is no plan. Extensive hard landscaping has been undertaken during this period which is beginning to weather in nicely.
Cherry Tree Cottage is a grade II listed 16th-century black-and-white thatched cottage (not open) set in three-quarters of an acre. The gardens, which nurtured but not manicured, comprise traditional borders, vegetable plot, ponds and a wildlife area. Many outbuildings including a hobbit house, greenhouse and piggeries. The garden is surrounded by trees with many seating areas to allow time to relax and take in the secluded historic setting.
For this open day, you can either book your tickets online in advance or just turn up and pay on the day (cash or card).
