November 2015 – October 2016

A wonderful large family garden divided into different zones to accommodate all ages.

• A centrally positioned large swimming pool is surrounded by single size grey paving to tie-in with the colours used in the restored and updated home.  Formal planting beds sit either side of the pool leaving plenty of room.

• A large seating area catching the sun is directly outside the large bi-fold doors from the kitchen and dining area, which in turn leads up through the formal planting to the large lawn.

• A built in BBQ sits outside the pool house.

• A very large tiered border deals with the level change on the right hand side and is planted with a carefully chosen selection of trees, shrubs, grasses and large growing perennials to provide long seasons of interest.

• A smaller seating area leads directly from the bi-fold doors from the lounge and dining room.  A real suntrap, this area is perfect for summer lunches and is bordered by raised planters with a mix of sun loving perennials and Standard Bay trees.

• The planting is Mediterranean in feel mixed with traditional English themes.  A formal Yew hedge divides the more formal planting from the lawn which is bordered on 3 sides by a mix of small trees, shrubs and perennials to give year round colour and interest.

• To the rear of the garden is the wildlife woodland, an area enhanced by mass planting of low growing perennials and spring bulbs.  A thatched gazebo catches the last rays of the sun and is ideal for sundowners overlooking the garden.
