Sussex Farm House

Situated in beautiful rolling country side with extensive views it was important that the garden did not interrupt these but, with the driveway also doubling as a bridle path, the garden needed to provide privacy and solace. The boundary is created by hornbeam hedging to compliment the bucolic environment with box pleached hornbeams and parasol limes adding height and a touch of grandeur while allowing the views to be uninterrupted. The front garden uses box hedging, twisted bay trees, yew topiary, herbs and white flowering perennials and roses to create an old fashioned romantic entrance suited to the decorative flint and brick house. The back garden is divided into formal lawn garden with herbaceous borders and rounded topiary to reflect the rolling hills, a wild flower meadow glimpsed through two old apple trees and the vegetable garden entered via a hornbeam arch.
