Manor Barn

Our brief at Manor Farm was to bring together a disjointed series of outside spaces to create a naturalistic and wild-looking garden.

The wild garden is at the heart of the landscape, lying between the house and the old barns.

A generous stepping-stone path links the house to the old barns (which have been converted into a sculpture studio), with thyme, geraniums and grasses colonising the gaps.

To the west is a lawn surrounded by meadow and trees, and to the east, beyond the entrance drive, a productive fruit and vegetable garden.

The owners are keen gardeners so the garden continues to evolve and has been gradually populated by sculptures, which adds to its unique feel.
