Garden

The garden at Chy Van Dour, though in need of some care, exudes a coastal charm and is renowned as a plantsman’s haven, home to rare and unique species. It features sweeping lawns, vibrant flower beds, and a tapestry of spring bulbs, rhododendrons, camellias, hellebores, and climbing hydrangeas.

Spanning approximately 1.6 acres, the grounds include woodland, a paddock, and a timber building currently used as a boat store, previously a stable and tack room. Additional outbuildings enhance the property, while a gentle stream meanders down to the foreshore, where a tidal running mooring awaits.
