A gated tarmac driveway winds through mature trees and shrubbery to a central turning circle and well-kept lawn, setting a grand and picturesque tone on arrival. Bingfield House sits proudly in its plot, with the front elevation offering a timeless, storybook charm.
The formal gardens lie mainly to the south and feature an expansive, level lawn once used for bowls and ideal for outdoor entertaining or even a tennis court. Bordered by mature planting, stone paths, and charming steps, the gardens offer a rich variety of textures and spaces. A partially walled section provides shelter and seclusion, creating a warm, sun-trapped microclimate.
Adjacent to the orangery, a network of stone and tarmac paths connects to an elevated patio on the eastern side, complete with a sunken pond. Further into the garden, a pergola walkway leads to a second, more private patio tucked into the walled corner perfect for relaxing in the sun.
