Country Residence

Oak & Stone

The grounds of a stone country house were simplified into a sequence of garden rooms: clipped yew, a long perennial walk and a dining terrace under old oaks, built with reclaimed stone from the property.

The grounds before: rough grass and a wheelbarrow of cuttings

The Challenge

Large grounds had grown out of scale with the house: rough grass, self-seeded shrubs and no route through the garden.

Our Response

A sequence of garden rooms now leads from the house to the oaks, with clipped structure, long borders and a dining terrace.
