A walled courtyard garden with formal evergreen, structural planting complementing the house and creating seating areas in sun and shade, enhanced by the addition of water and sympathetic lighting.
Within this large garden benefiting from views, a central lawn flanked by long, deep herbaceous borders blend into the surrounding countryside and swirls of box hedging envelope terraces and a small vegetable and herb garden.
The addition of perennial planting in a "cottage" style, complements existing established shrubs and provides colour throughout the year in the main part of the garden with detailed hard landscaping and change of levels to create more intimate seating areas nearer to the house.
Lead planters and other features displayed in these gardens can be purchased from www.thesummerhouseuk.com
