A 3.8 acre garden nestled in the Sussex countryside with glorious views over the South Downs. The house was originally designed by Michael Twigg in the 1970’s, perhaps best known for Hays Galleria in London, it has gone through extensive remodelling over the years with the current owners looking to bring back some of it’s original spirit with a nod to the renowned Bentley Wood. Wishing for the grounds to also take cue from late midcentury landscaping in Britain while giving it the flow of a classic country estate. Major works had already begun over the past year not just in form of an extension to the main residence, overall renovations and the introduction of additional out buildings but also with significant alterations to the gardens layout and appearance being made. Seeing the removal of trees, ponds and large romantic flower beds with the introduction of wide gravel paths.
“A garden that follows the seasons with ease.'“
Initially aiming to eradicate the overall sense of the existing classic “English Country Garden” which felt largely disjointed with the main residence original design. A need for a professional approach quickly became apparent with the aim to give the whole garden a cohesive feel in shape, colour and form.
New trees, shrubs and planting are easier to maintain while providing attractive colour and structure throughout the year. A garden that follows the seasons with ease. The full scheme includes tiered lawns framed by fagus sylvatica purpurea hedging and topiary. A split level 300sqm terrace with incorporated planting, firepit, sundeck, hot tub and herb garden. Planting of 60 mature woodland trees and extended meadows.
