Where contemporary design meets natural beauty.

The front and rear gardens were designed by current home owner as a a sumptuous accompaniment to the modesty of the façade; a light mask of privacy, and yet a subtle nod to the curation within.

At the rear, the enormity of space allows the gardens designs even more ambition. Here, large interlocking Concrete and CorTen steel forms a series of raised beds, creating the sense of a contemporary parterre or terraces, softened in their edges by meadow planting.

The base of the planting scheme is of violets and wild strawberries, out of which, in the spring, burst a wonderful array of tulips and associated spring bulbs. In the summer it is suffused with lupins, peonies and aconitum which become the second wave, flooding through and enveloping the entire central section.

The garden is punctuated with topiary and held in at the edges by lovely, loose cloud hedges. Apples provide fruit and further enclosure for the garden at a higher level. The garden rises gently from the terrace by the house to the trampoline, lawn and enclosing hedge at the rear.
