I'd like to write about my country house

Hello everyone. One week ago I bought a country house. It is one hundred kilometers away from Kiev. There is a hedge around the house, and it also has a yard and a garden. There is a gate at the front. When you come in you can see the path which leads to the house. On both sides of the path there are (swards - not sure what this means) and a couple of flower-beds. My house consists of bricks and wooden bars. There is a beautiful porch at the front of the house. It is a two-storeyed house. At the back there is a pigsty and a cowshed. I'd like to build a stable but I suppose there is no reason to. I can't ride and I am scared of riding!
