Dromineen is well positioned within private woodland and landscaped garden grounds. The garden has been beautifully landscaped and tended over a number of years with wonderful nooks and crannies to explore. The property is accessed via a sweeping gravel driveway leading from the Laurieston Road development. There are two large gravel parking areas providing ample parking for a number of cars in front of the double garage as well as at the main entrance to the property. The driveway is bordered by lawn and mature woodland on either side. This wonderfully unique garden is a haven for birds and other wildlife, including red squirrels, and catches superb views over the Fleet Valley. Having been lovingly landscaped and cared for, the garden has an abundance of colour all year round with a variety of plants including Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Daffodils, Bluebells, and Gunnera. There are a variety of wooden bridges crossing over the burn at various places with beautiful paths winding through the private woodland dotted with a variety of well-established plants. One particular path makes its way down the far side of the garden at Dromineen via steps through a mature garden area featuring Bluebells, Rose Arbours, and Japanese Acers down to a spectacular garden waterfall at the far end of the property. Gravel paths wind around the side of the house leading to a further lawned area and patio. A wooden pergola extends out from the patio with beautiful climbing Wisteria. The garden beyond the patio extends down a slope with mature Alpines, Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Broom, providing a wonderful haven for Butterflies and Bees. To one side of the property are two lean-to areas with slated roof and wrought iron balustrades which are useful storage areas for logs and garden equipment.
