A GARDEN IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE
The garden design took its inspiration from the site’s historic setting. Existing buildings created a natural sequence of courtyards and enclosures, which were enhanced with simple structural planting, softened by self-seeders and drifting roses.
The surrounding farm buildings created courtyards and enclosures which we embellished with simple structural planting softened by self-seeding plants and trailing roses.
Loose plantings in the gravel offers contrast to the expanse of dry-stone walls as well as marking the changing season.
We lowered the garden wall separating the front lawn from the meadow and reinstated the ha-ha, bringing the landscape into the garden itself.
A new eating terrace was created surrounded by densely planted herbaceous borders which offer colour and interest throughout the year.
To the north of the house, we transformed a featureless slope with a series of banks, stone walls and a large rectangular pool of water.
