GARDENS The grounds are approached over a curving driveway which initially runs beside a stream with gunnera and a huge eucalyptus over before sweeping past specimen trees, a bed of seasonal flowers, shrubs and roses and the front lawn before arriving at a large parking and turning area in front of the coach house and between the outbuildings. The garden is divided into rooms with large lawns further away from the house edged with streams and dotted with wonderful trees with more formal spaces surrounding the house itself. From the early part of the drive a secluded path leads between a cut slate wall and a hedge of laurel and beech before connecting with other paths from the parking area and these all lead behind cut stone walls to a formal rectangular granite edged pond with lilies and a central granite water feature. Archways in the wall give access to the side leat courtyard and slate path opens through the hedge and under a weeping pear to the shaped lawn immediately in front of the house. In the centre of the lawn is a further weeping pear and around the edges are densely stocked superb flowering beds backed by trees. To the side of the house is a walled courtyard with magnificent slate flags on the floor and a pretty arched stone bridge leading over the broad mill leat with gunnera at its edge. Outside of a side entrance door to the house is a further walkway over the leat and around its edge are more specimens including bamboo and many of the rooms of the house overlook this picturesque garden. An archway then opens through the wall to the rear of the courtyard to a paved terrace which stretches the entire width of the rear of the house and enjoys a sunny southerly position. By this point the garden has dramatically opened up with the foreground being a pond filled with lilies including arum and iris with a waterfall to one end cascading under a mature weeping willow. The outlook from this area is then over a broad flight of three GENERAL INFORMATION granite steps and out across a stunning landscape of shaped lawns with colour and form filled beds and borders under trees including VIEWING – Strictly by prior appointment through: Lillicrap Chilcott, former mill building in front of you the driveway to Melllingey Mill House is wonderful acers, numerous roses and camellias all set to the Landrian House, 59-60 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PE. before this on the right hands side.
