A family garden with a connection to the past

This Grade ll listed property in North Wiltshire is situated in a beautiful spot immediately adjacent to a Grade l listed church close to the archaeological site of an old castle.

This building in the garden is a retreat for winter days and outdoor kitchen and dining space for summer sun.

The period property sets the scene for a cast concrete water trough that brings the water lily to eye level and compliments the Cornish slate and local limestone.

Oak benches contrast with rusted steel in the petanque pitch garden, surrounded by billowing planting full butterflies and bees.

“The designers listened to how we would use the garden space, from kid’s play to hosting large events, and through collaborative discussion with us developed a stunning plan. We are thrilled with our garden room the stove makes a cosy addition in the winter months”
