Chelmsford Lodge is in a residential area of Eastbourne, close to the sea, the Downs and the town centre. It is a surprisingly large garden of almost an acre, mostly unseen from the road, surrounded by mature trees, including beech, red flowering chestnut, maple, whitebeam and a very old elm.
At the end of the tennis-court-sized lawn and flower borders, an arched gateway leads to a ‘secret garden’ where you’ll discover an arbour, trellises, a rockery and a large pond surrounded by rose beds and tree peonies.
There is a variety of flowering shrubs and trees, including fruit trees, bulbs and flowers that burst into colour throughout the spring and summer months.
