A medium sized rural garden

Site Description:
A rural garden on the edge of a fenland village.

The Brief:
The client owned two brick and pantile 18th century workers' cottages and wished to merge the two gardens to create one large garden for herself and one small courtyard garden for renting. One neighbouring house overlooked. The client wanted her space to be a fun space from which to entertain.

The Design:
The existing hot tub beside the back door was integrated into the garden, and privacy enhanced using planting such as beautiful climbing roses and evergreen clematis. A new multi-use garden building was constructed next to the tub which would serve as an office when working from home, another spare bedroom and finally holding the all important fridge for that added luxury whilst in the hot tub. A pergola walkway leading down the garden would in time be covered in grape vines. A second terrace and formal pond was created for al fresco dining surrounded by lavenders and shimmering grasses. Finally lighting provided a fourth dimension, transforming the garden at night.
