From Forgotten Corner to Garden Showpiece

 Designed for year-round enjoyment, this garden has been created to feel just as special from inside the house as it does when you’re out in it. Large windows and glazed doors now frame calm, layered views, so even on a cold, wet day you still feel connected to greenery, movement and light.

Connected to the house

From the main living spaces, your eye is naturally drawn out towards the new seating area and feature planting.

• Sightlines have been carefully planned so there’s always something to rest your eyes on – a statement tree, soft grasses, or a focal feature.
• Subtle lighting allows the garden to glow in the evenings, turning it into a living backdrop for the home all year round.
   

A place to truly relax

At the centre of the design is a comfortable seating area – a spot to sit back with a coffee in the morning, read a book in the afternoon or unwind after a long day.

• Enclosing planting and considered screening create a sense of privacy without feeling boxed in.
• Gentle textures, natural materials and calm colours work together to reduce visual noise and invite you to slow down.
   

Space to sit with friends and family

This area also works beautifully as a small social space.

• There’s room to sit with a partner, a couple of friends or close family.
• Easy access from the house makes it perfect for an evening drink, a weekend catch-up or simply watching the sunset together.
   

A retreat for the keen gardener

While the space is calm and simple to use day to day, it’s also designed with a keen gardener in mind.

• Layered borders surround the seating area, so you can literally lie back and see the results of your work from every angle. 
• Planting has been chosen to provide structure in winter, fresh interest in spring, colour and texture through summer, and a soft, fading beauty in autumn.
   

This garden is more than just a “nice corner” – it’s a peaceful retreat, a welcoming spot to share with others, and a place where a gardener can relax and enjoy the full impact of the space they’ve created.
