The barns are large but very difficult to enter, you have to be a determined mountain goat to get in.

Beautiful and well kept. So much open space with a particularly peaceful walled garden! Nice varieties of flowers and plants to buy!🪴 And probably the most beautifully architecturally designed cafe in Braintree! Highly recommend a visit!
