This Cheshire country estate is undergoing extensive renovations including the conversion of the stable block. We have designed the grounds and gardens for this project. This parkland setting features existing mature woodland and existing hedgerows. We wanted to celebrate the existing features and retain the valuable habitat they provide, whilst also creating a more formal, manicured aesthetic to fit the setting the house requires. A remodelled serpentine lake, tree lined avenues, and a grand lawn are combined with the retained features to create structure. Smaller formal arrangements closer to the main house and stable conversions offer more intimate areas and opportunities for a more decorative and ornamental planting selection. These spaces include, an evening terrace, an enclosed kitchen garden framed by Yew hedges, and a large water feature on the houses east-west axis surrounded by a rose garden. Through the hedge lining the water garden, a secret garden can be discovered, a playful feature which creates a sense of discovery and allows an intimate secluded garden setting.
