The gardens surround the house on three sides and include a variety of mature trees including a 400-year-old Mulberry Tree while a lavender-lined path leads from the front gate to the front canopy porch and another path leads around the property to the pond. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a wooden summer house and hedging to the rear.
Long Marston is an attractive village with many interesting period houses and cottages, a good village pub and a very early parish church. Chipping Campden and Stratford are almost equidistant (around five miles) and the M40 is just 12 miles away.
