In previous years it has been a delight to listen to the music whilst exploring the garden and having a cuppa.

Kings Grange has an extensive garden surrounded by mature trees and shrubberies, with views to the south west over the surrounding countryside.

Originally Victorian, the garden has been restored by the present owners with a colourful variety of herbaceous mixed borders, beds and rockeries mainly to the front of the house.
