Garden
The garden at East Lodge is a true highlight, offering a blend of sun-drenched relaxation and lush greenery. The charming courtyard area serves as a perfect sun trap, ideal for enjoying outdoor dining or simply soaking up the rays. From the courtyard, you are led to a south-facing lawn, beautifully maintained with mature trees, shrubs, and a variety of vibrant plants, creating a serene and picturesque setting.
Garden
To the west of the property lies the historic Kearn Graveyard. While not included in the sale and owned and maintained by the local authority, the graveyard adds a touch of historical significance to the surroundings. It is located at the start of the woodland and is fully enclosed by four walls, ensuring it is quite sheltered and separate from the main garden area. Within the graveyard, there is a crypt believed to house members of the famous Forbes Clan, as well as Commonwealth War graves, providing a unique sense of history and heritage.
Interestingly, within the garden itself, there is another crypt that is included in the sale, adding a unique and historical feature to the property.
Garden
Additionally, the sale includes mature woodlands located to the west of the property. These woodlands provide a tranquil natural retreat and are perfect for leisurely walks, wildlife spotting, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of nature.
Garden
At the top of the garden, a bridge crosses a small stream, leading to the old road that historically connected the lodge house to Druminnor Castle. Druminnor Castle, originally known as Forbes Castle, dates back to the 13th century and was the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan Forbes. It is steeped in history and adds to the rich tapestry of the property.
