Following a new kitchen extension the garden design brief for this home was to convert part of the sizable existing lawn into a well balanced desirable courtyard space for entertaining; providing open sunny aspect spaces, a covered area for occasional seating, dining and cooking areas, all positioned amongst planting beds filled with perennials, grasses and bulbs. A traditional hard landscaping style was used to match the Victorian house and subtle lighting design incorporated to extend the home outdoors from the various internal vistas in the evenings.
