BARN CONVERSION

A large piece of land was purchased to extend an existing smaller garden. The land included a designated agricultural field, which was partly wooded and reverted to meadow with a hedgerow boundary. The area closer to the house received planning permission to be converted into a garden and was then designed and developed into a beautiful yet practical space.

The garden has structured paths and planting beds around the house, filled with colourful perennials. The planting design by Sarah Naybour in contemporary cottage style, is beautiful and intricate. A long stretch of decking leads directly from the house to an oval wildlife pond and adjacent hot tub. The decking floats above the pond, allowing a closer connection to the water and wildlife within. Just beyond, an oak pergola shades a seating area overlooking a lawn naturalised with spring bulbs. This garden also features an antique carved timber door in the hedges, through which a kitchen and cuttings garden can be explored.
