BOAR’S HILL

Situated next to an ancient oak woodland, this garden was once open to the public as the previous owners were plant collectors and passionate gardeners. The grounds are full of stately oak trees, many of which are protected.

The garden has been restored to its former glory, reversing a decade of neglect. Old Azaleas and Rhododendrons have been preserved or relocated, and the old pond has been dredged and reshaped with a new planting scheme appropriate to the wet and shady conditions. A new sunlit greenhouse overlooks the magical woodland landscape and is used for quiet contemplation. A meandering stream feeds the pond and flows into the nearby woodland. Beautiful views have been revealed from the house to the end of the garden and a generous new terrace leads to a woodland walk on a journey around this 2 acre property.
