The welcome area is designed around a three-level water feature. Evergreen planting softens the house. The breakfast patio catches the morning sun with feature Acer tree, steps to lawn and planting bed. The entertaining space with ramped, semi-circle grassed amphitheatre leads up to lawn. Corten steel provides retaining walls for amphitheatre with planting and pergola offering a sense of cocooning. Three water features allow water to cascade down from upper terrace area, and help cover the sound from nearby road. The garden features a new, glass conservatory with a balcony that gives fantastic views to garden and fields. Natural swimming pond with circular decking, curved steps and cobbled beach area is surrounded by naturalistic planting. A silver birch copse with rough grass and bulbs offers space to enjoy views of the swimming pond, meadow planting, tennis court and house. Corten steel, Dutch pavers, sandstone paving, oak, render and London stock bricks form the basis of the design's materials. Planting is largely based on the new wave, naturalistic movement that combines grasses and perennials.
