A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an experienced Gardener with strong horticultural skills to look after a hidden gem of a garden in Rawdon, Leeds.

The property is within an easy commuting distance from Harrogate, Leeds and Halifax areas. The property itself totals 6 acres, including 4 acres of maintained paddock and woodland which also includes a section of public footpath and c150m of a river bank. The main garden comprises 2 acres of more formal mature Victorian garden wrapping around the main house.
