This substantial detached property was located within what was once a formal walled garden, but lacked any distinctive character.

Brief
To create a formal family garden in the Arts and Crafts style with lawn, sun soaked terrace and improved access from the main house.

Solutions
Awkward changes in level are removed providing a more useful paved area framed by a green oak pergola forming a focal point from the house. Formal steps from the principal entrance descend to a wide path through the lawn leading to the sunny terrace.
