A flight of steps and concreted pathway descends from the parking area down towards the Mill.Pentargon View’ is on the left hand side of the approach, divided from the pathway by low natural stone walls, topped by well stocked flowerbeds.Natural stone walling to the right has a large raised area of lawn above with central fir tree and impressive horse chestnut tree, gently sloping down towards the stream. Adjacent to Pentargon View’ is a lean-to, stained timber, garden implement and fuel store with two windows providing natural light to the interior.A concreted path runs alongside the store and around to the front of the cottage.A concreted pathway runs along the front and a newly laid paved terrace surrounded by lawns forms the front garden.The lawns are on two tiers divided by attractive natural stone walling and in one corner paved and slated steps descend through well stocked and landscaped flower and shrub bed borders down to the river.

A substantially constructed timber footbridge crosses the stream to the Mill looking down to well stocked flower and shrub beds on either side, lining the streams boundaries.Immediately in front of the Mill is a broad stone paved terrace providing a perfect sun-trap within which to while away summer’s days with the constant sound of running water providing an extremely relaxing atmosphere.To the left of the Mill is a broad expanse of lawn with a sunken sun patio above the river.There is a block built garden store with wooden door and windows on either side providing natural light.The gardens above the lawn are set in tiers with beautifully stocked flowerbeds rising to a second area of lawn with further stocked flowerbeds above and natural bluebell woodland above that.

On the right hand side of the Mill are beautiful terraces of profusely stocked gardens supporting many plants including weeping willow, palm trees, heathers, camellias, mombretia, ferns, gunnera and many other plants, too numerous to mention.The various areas of garden are broken up by natural stone rockeries festooned with plants, slate terraces, steps and paths connect the various areas.A large area of lawn has an inset mature apple tree and echiums.A further lawn above is shaded by overhanging trees from the woodland above.
