The Grounds

The studio is set in almost an acre of diverse and maintained grounds. There are traditional country garden areas, a section of woodland, a wide variety of lawns and plants, and more.

The garden is currently being renovated and replanted and the development is intended to enhance its artistic and photographic appeal, so it is likely to change and improve significantly over the next two or three years. The site also contains several outbuildings and sheds that - once tidied up a bit - will be available as shooting locations, probably with a rural or workshop theme.

Currently the garden contains the following areas:

• Patio area with Mediterranean plants
• Outdoor heated shower
• Several areas of garden with different 'looks'
• Woodland area that has been left largely natural
• Various sculptures and objects are scattered around the grounds to include in your artworks

The garden is a haven for wildlife, with a huge variety of birds, a local herd of wild deer that are frequently found in the woods, and many small furry critters such as rabbits, foxes, badgers, and voles.

Facilities

There is tea and coffee making equipment in the studio. The toilet facilities are in the main house and can be accessed on request to the site manager who will be on site but out of your way for the duration of your usage. There are walkie-talkies available for your use, one of which will be held by the site manager.
