A modern classic

Rae's design for this sloping site required that it first be divided into three levels to create flatter, more usable areas. The entire garden was then connected by a path with steps up and down the levels around the central lawn.

A vegetable garden with raised beds and an Alitex greenhouse sits within an existing brick wall at one side along a path through cut flower borders.

A long formal pond is framed by offset lines of pleached Hornbeam trees, providing a home to Koi carp. There are three sunny patio areas and a secluded firepit corner.

The garden was constructed by Outdoor Options.
