This modern L-shaped home and beautifully restored old farm buildings combine to create a unique large sunny courtyard. A hedge with pleached trees around the patio creates a screen that delineates the family space within the overall courtyard.

Planting beds running by both this hedge and the house itself create an ever-changing display of colourful planting to enjoy. The elongated ‘Stepping Stones’ act as a link between the patio and the large reflecting pool, drawing us away from the house to explore the garden.

Beyond the pleached-tree screen, the outer courtyard of ornamental lawns and two planting beds attract attention with a different choice of grasses, bulbs, and flowering trees.
