The gardens are a particular feature of Isca Lodge, extending principally to two sides of the house and enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

Set within approximately half an acre, the gardens feature broad sweeping lawns, established beds and borders and a mature mix of shrubs, palms, trees and flowering plants, creating colour and interest throughout the seasons.

A large paved patio provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a purpose-built seating area enjoying views across the gardens.

There are also two garden stores and generous areas of lawn. There is a side pedestrian gate leading onto the footpath of Long Lane.

The gardens also benefit from lapsed planning permission for the construction of a detached house, offering potential for future development, subject to any necessary consents.
